Forced Induction for 3.8L

So here's the deal. A while back I wrote a thread about how I would like to swap a v6 for a v10, yadda, yadda, yadda. Anyway, either some of you remember or the rest of you get the point. Well, I listened to the comments and realized just exactly how stupid what I wanted to do sounded.

Short story: I do own the car, since I was able to get it for under 5 grand. Now the thing is I want to add some forced induction, whether it be a twin turbo, single turbo or supercharger. I want to basically find out what would be the best charger to mod it with. It needs to be readily available so that I don't have to spend who knows how long trying to find it.

Obviously, I'm also going to need to invest in an intercooler, as well as a blow off valve, and cams. Which ones are essentially the best bang for the buck and will be able to be used with the charger that I'll buy?

Also, what is the best suspension to upgrade to? I'm not really looking into lowering the height by much, maybe an inch to 2.5(at the most). I'm not sure how tall it is. It's in the garage and it's not coming out until may/june. But in the meantime, I can start working on it.

Am I missing anything else?

Oh and this time around I don't want to do an engine swap. It's a v6 and it's going to stay as a v6.

But I do want to do what I've mentioned above. While yes, I know that the z28 and ss is meant to be the "submodel" of the camaro that already has been modified, I bought a v6 for a reason. It's going to become a unique and original v6. One of a kind

Also, I forgot to mention, the whole thing with the suspensions, I will also be changing out the struts, as I'm going to throw some 20s or 21s on it.
