Since my Dad and I built a forced induction setup on his Z06 vette (with me doing the research/work and him swiping the credit card), I would say I'm "informed" on the topic.

And i'm sure they would kick out a lil bit more power than those APS turbo's

Just because the APS units are not Garrett doesn't mean they don't compare. They're basically GT358xR, like S14DB posted.

The reason you don't see more F-bodies or Vettes with twins is because there's no room for them - the frame rails come right up to the headers. So yeah, turbos would be different.

This is an extremely important point - actually, they're good for something like 700
engine hp - less than 600whp for sure. The #7 piston ring lands are
always the first to go when you push that number. LS2/LS7 can go a little higher due to higher displacement.

As above, if you're pushing the cylinder pressure/power limits of the engine, you're not too small. Big single would be big hp, but most likely not as fun to drive in any car, much less a 240. Even those twins don't spool up instantly (full boost around 2500rpm).
