All im trying to accomplish with a V6 (if I can) is to get it as fast as a V8. I'm happy with my car. Its straight piped, I had plans on getting an xpipe with a borla exhaust later on but I'm seeing which dealer is friendly with tunes that wont void my warrenty but it sounds like from what I'm hearing a v8 wont give me trouble. I love my car and its roars. I'm not getting super fast for track, I would like it as fast as my brother in laws scat pack charger and a V8 SS just to be a badass daily driver.

Okay, so if you really are not happy with the power of the V6, which, to me it sounds like you aren't, then realize that it will cost you more to make it into an SS than just buying an SS in the first place. If you are SURE, that you will only be happy with 455 horses, and you are committed to staying with the 6th gen platform, then your only choice is the cut your losses and find either an LT1 or an SS. You'll lose 6-10 grand depending on how it plays out. The SS is more of a track car and if you know you'll never track, its probably pointless to get it. However, you could snag a used SS for less than a new LT1. It's still a pretty expensive proposition all together, but if you can afford the loss, it's worth it to get the car you really want.
The other question is, is this trade something you need to do right now? Or could you wait a few years, save your money, and see what the 7th gen camaro looks like?
