I haven’t did anything to the car at all and before the “just sell it and get a v8” come around then I’m already telling you it’s a no. I like my car, LOVE it actually. I like my seats, steering wheel, radio, mirror, the paint, literally everything about this car. I just want more horsepower and I would like for somebody to point me into a direction of that. I was looking at the edlebrock stage 1 supercharger kit and I’m trying to steer away from that, I was hoping to get pro charger or if possible then a twin turbo kit but I want the maximum power available and I do not want to buy a v8. So if somebody knows a good amount information about this it would high appreciated.
Months ago almost to a year I was considering spending 35k-50k to get a v8 motor and tranny swapped into this vehicle but everybody told me not to do it and it wouldn’t work. But now I can’t keep waiting, this is my life, my money, and my memories and I’m not waiting any longer to do something I really want to do so if anybody can help me then thanks!

Well - I know you already said 'no' but I just don't see the point if its just the seats, steering wheel, radio and paint that keep you attached to the car. You can literally find the exact same options in a V8 car for alot less money and headache, and have more power potential. I've had memories in several cars in the past too but I let go to move forward. It sucks at first but when you realize the upgrade potential of the LT1, you thank yourself for it later. Personally I've blown off way more money than I've needed to in trying to mod cars.. ..I'd stick with simple and straight forward if I could go back and do it all over again as its much less headache, less customization, less money and heartache and more time to actually enjoy it.
If you're dead set on it, I'd look into seeing what it would take to make an Caddillac ATS Turbo system work. They also use a 3.6 Motor but probably have forged internals. If you got it to work, your car would be truly custom, but I'm not entirely sure if its possible... That or the OverKill supercharger. Both will need an E85 tune and supporting boltons. The problem with the V6 isn't potential but rather lack of aftermarket support and options.
I was thinking the same thing when I had my 2017 Camaro 1LT:

But I ended up trading for a 2SS instead and haven't looked back.
