Help!!! Need ideas

I love my car, but I also love speed. I have got to the point with mods that I can't get the car any faster. I have done the exhaust, CAI, HFC's, ECUTek Tune. What is the total cost to add a turbo or supercharger? Any ideas of other mods I can do that I will be able to really feel the performance upgrade? I am currently looking into a supercharged Camaro.


Thanks

Cost to turbo is no less than $10k. Usually more.

That's what I thought. The Camaro I am looking at is a 2010 supercharged with 20,000 miles for under 30K. That's not a bad price. I can't sell my car and get the money I put into it back in the sales price. I was offered 14K for a trade in today. I was offended lol

Light weight wheels and tires. 2 piece light weight rotors. and coilovers which weigh less than stock suspension might help a bit.

Of course I’m a stock owner myself, a clear minority on this forum. But yet I have to ask, why do you want to go any faster than the 155mph official stock top speed (certainly faster than any legal speed limit in this country), and go better than around 5.5 zero to sixty, surely better than most non-drag race cars on the street? What can further mods possible do for you except further empty your bank account and cause serious safety issues?

I'm sure the reason you can't sell your G is because you have all of that extra and the fact it can't be warranted with the ecu.

While the allure of an Supercharged Camaro is sweet if it's not the ZL-1 or atleast an SS with the 1LE package you're not going to like the handling.

Plus I've ran two regular SS on the interstate several times and after 100mph I'm faster. The SS makes negative downforce as opposed to downforce. It's like a brick wall trying to break through air which is harder.
