Default Forced Induction for 2000 v6 (3.8L)

So here's the deal, I want to add some forced induction to my 2000 camaro v6, 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 will also be changing out the struts, as I'm going to throw some 20s or 21s on it.

While 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

Is there anything that I might have missed?

Thanks. I already did a search but I only found one yesterday, but I'm going to take a look at a search today too.

Do any members here have a turbocharged or supercharged v6?

sorry, just read the whold thing, that's going into a z34, not a camaro. I know there is a v6 web site for the f-body though. I just can't remember it. There is a guy with a yellow turbo v6 with more rwhp than I have.
