Also, if I had the money I would have a hard time choosing between Godzilla and a Z06. The Z06 is just so much fun to drive.

Lingenfelter has done some pretty amazing things with turbo's on the Corvette V8's. Ford GT owner's are pumping out 1,400 horsepower with stock internals out of their 5.4 liter V8's with twin turbo kits.
ALOT of the sandrails and dune buggies I've seen run twin turbo LS or Northstar V8 motors. Twin turbo V8's are an absolute blast!!!
I think for the most part you're right about non-built V8's and twin turbo kits not being a good match but if everything is built right then they can be a lot of fun.
