SS to run like a ZL1? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have opportunity to buy a 2012 45th Anniversary SS vert, with a SLP 575 HP Supercharger already on it, otherwise stock.
I really like the 45th Edition because of the full leather seats and charcoal metallic paint, but it doesn't seem to come close of having the torque and pull of a ZL1.
If I spend another 8 to 10 K I can get into a ZL1.
I'm looking for everyone's opinion on what it would take to make the 45th Anniversary Edition to move like a ZL1?
What is the common consensus of what mods to add on top of the existing supercharger?
And ballpark figures of can it be done for less than 8k?
Thanks Everyone, I'm a newbie with this.

Pullies, tune, headers, I believe the 575 came with a cold air intake but that was about it besides the slp sc

Thanks, it did come with Cold Air.
Pullies, tune, headers sounds like the initial start from what I'm beginning to understand, what's the average you can expect out of that?

If you want to "make it run like a ZL1" spend the money to get a ZL1. The engine mods is one thing, but the rest of the drive train and suspension is another story.
