From what I understand, TRD makes a Supercharger for your Camry. That would be your first option.... the second, if you have the money, would be to rip out that auto tranny and install a manual. You wouldn't believe how much power you lose from the auto tranny.

s/c is for v6 i believe he said 5sfe so that's 2.2L 4 cylinder....

A few issues to address:

1. I hope you know how to drive standard, since mating an auto to the 3SGTE would be idiocy at its finest.

2. So you will be going pretty fast with a 3SGTE swap. Now, how well will you stop?? How well will the car corner with that extra speed?? Taking away the mods you have done on the 5SFE (pulley, intake, etc.), your car is bone stock.
