I always used the rough figure at 15hp/lb of boost. That one actually equated pretty well.
I should also add that if you are entertaining modding a V6 Camaro with the use of a turbo (or turbos), it would be beneficial to have an automatic trans to start with.
You will get better acceleration and quicker ET's with the auto trans.
It all has to do with spooling and boost; the boost hits, say, 15PSI from a launch, and STAYS there throughout the shifts. You can't do that with manual trans - you'd need to re-spool between shifts.
Pay attention to the Buick crowd. Lots of info there.
