As said, if the work was done by a recognized shop like lingenfelter, callaway or henessey, then you could get decent money depending on condition. Otherwise you will have to keep your stock parts to demod and sell.
There is a black gen5 for sale near me, Magnusson supercharger, with Henessey logo on the back, but the combination of parts tells the story that its not genuine. its sat for sale for months, I sure wont touch it.

If you want to add FI to your car do it for the fun. Very few custom FI cars get more than a stocker when it comes time to sell. And most buyers avoid those cars.

Heavy modding can be fun but be prepared for disappontments and headaches too. Am I glad I did it once? Yes because it was a dream. Do it again? Not a chance.

As a footnote I bought a ZL1 after my 1LE was totaled. That was the car I was trying to build. Loved it.

Like other people stated if you add power adders like nitrous, or a sc, or a turbo and you try to sell the camaro with those power adders you're not going to get 5k more than an identical stock camaro just because you have added a power adder. Best advice put the camaro back to stock and sell the aftermarket stuff. That is what I have always done. Unless you can find a sucker to buy your camaro. You only have to find one sucker, which apparently Hennessey has done and stays in business somehow just based I think on finding suckers.

Imo after dumping lots of money into my WRX it wasn't worth it should have just baught an sti.

If you are looking to mod the car maybe save up for the ZL1,
