I'd stick with the bolt-ons you have now and save for a supercharger.

Unlimited potential with these LS engines though! have fun!
Thanks man, superchargers are super expensive but Ill start putting some cash away.

I also have a 2011 Camaro SS. You have good products on your list. I recommend considering an intake at the same time to maximize your tune results. Also, make sure to buy from one of our vendors on here.

+1 on the intake. I got the intake from the Z28 and love it. Looks like a stock part...because it kind of is. My tuner said intakes are generally good for ~10-15hp.

Power is expensive! You won't have a hard time spending $8-10k to get your reliable 600hp. And that's just the beginning. If you get to 600HP, you'll smoke through tires, gas, a few stock drivetrain parts that wont be able to handle the HP, and speeding tickets

I’d do the axels before I added a supercharger. Also don’t forget essential chassis parts like cradle bushings, toe links, and trailing arms. The OEM parts are very weak.

Intake and CAI are often interchanged for cold air intake. However, CAI is technically a brand of cold air intake too, Cold Air Inductions=CAI. So when you see it on the forums, often times when someone refers to CAI they are talking about a Cold Air Inductions cold air intake.
