It' damned if you do, dmaned if you don't. You can make a car faster three ways, supercharger, turbo charger or engine. All 3 are going to set you back a minimum of $3000 with labor and parts. A supercharger is going to require serious work and effort in setting it up, not to mention the parts in the engine itself. The turbocharger, while less parts demanding, still requires and intercooler and some effort. Same as with an engine. There is no cheap way to generate more power.

As far as i know adding a turbo or supercharger is not worth it at all. The value of your car don't go up enough to make a diffrence to notice.

just an example

car value= 6000.00
turbo/super charger= 3000.00
Total= 9000.00
if you go to sell your car have fun trying to convince a buyer that your turbo v6 is worth 9000.00 when he can get the SS down the street for 8000.00 and personaly a v6 turbo just tell me that ur planing on beating the **** out of that car

The more I keep thinking about it, the less likely I'll do a supercharger or a turbo anyways. First off, a supercharger is a nice rarity in a V6 Camaro, but not likely to balance out the power of the car and the low compression anyways. The turbocharger ends up being on the other side; pointless because of the weight anyways. Engine internals seems better because you are taking the engine down, putting new componets in, and not trying to overstress it by adding higher PSI into the compartment.

Sell it and buy a V8 if you wanna make big power... Otherwise, mod the V6 because you WANT to... Not to make a lot of power.
