Well to start off, a good intake system like cold air inductions with the ram air scoop and a good exhaust I.e. MRT or ARK sound great. For forced induction application, Tracy (known as Sc2150 on here has a single, twin turbo and supercharger options. I've heard smoke1LT's SC and it was friggin awesome! Hope this helps
 Edit: beating a SS (just a stock one) is achievable but will cost you some pretty pennies  a modded one is another story...and don't forget about looking into some suspension as well, best first mods to do is the sway bars

In time there will be products. The tuning is easier on the 2012 so I think you will see some stuff within the year most likely.
Out of curiosity is the v6 cheaper if you add FI? It would be more efficient but probably not cheaper at least not by much depending on the package I guess

If you want to turn it into an SS killer then don't buy anything and start to save your pennies. Just buy either a single turbo, twin turbo, or supercharger ASAP and then you will be able to beat them. The stock ones at least. Or you can do nitrous. Depends on what you want really.

Just save ur money up and then upgrade your rear ssuspension with rear cradle full bushing kit, rear trailing arm kit diff bushings and then pick your FI product and for about 11-12 k you'll have a car that will slay a lot machines out there even the ones with headers CAI and tunes.

but the thing is if i am going to put a turbo or a supercharger on it im not going to need a cold air intake system right... also what are some name brand good stuff i can put.. also since i cant put headers on the car what are my options.... but do you think i am in the clear and able to trick out my car coz i feel like i got a lemon......
what do you think about the sts turbos they mount in the rear but i have never seen that or herd of that brand..... |

Depends, why do u feel you got a lemon? If it's really bad, you should probably get everything checked out before you dive into something big. I know both rx and ipf offer supercharger options for the 2012. Don't know about the turbos.

well i think it is kinda stupid that all the other camaros are the same but then for instance the new engine they take out the ability to have headers that kind of stuff... didnt think they would just change it thats why i just got it...
