I do not know of a 4th gen Camaro that has had a 6.2L diesel stuffed into it.
There are at least 2 3rd gen Camaros I have seen on the forums that have a 6.2/6.5 diesel installed.

The hybrid versions of the 3800 series engine completely sucks and was only found for a few years on fwd 3800 engines. It was like a really bad attempt at a prototype bolt on hybrid kit that some how got approval to go on production vehicles.

If I had a V6 Camaro like you describe I would:
Change the forward O2 sensors.
Do subtitle aero mods.
Warm air intake.
Find out what gear ratio it has.
Then swap them out to a numerically lower set.
(from 3.42 to 3.23, or if it had 3.23 gears put in a 3.08 set)
Then try to figure out how to make the engine lean burn.
