I think APS makes a vette and a GTO kit right? I doubt either would fit right out of the box... it would probably be easier and cheaper to make your own setup. The APS C5 Vette kit is really a work of art though, absolutely beautiful!
EDIT: I just saw that they're making F-body kits too now...

That might be a fairly easy job to make fit on an ls1 fc..... can't comment on the fd though since I don't have one. You'd be looking at a different intercooler setup and piping at a min and maybe some reworking of the exhaust side on an fc but doesn't look like too much more. Hmmm, I do work for the company that makes the upgrade actuators for those as well as some of the units that ship with the kits.

Hinson has been promising a turbo kit for years. Don't hold your breath.
Take the car to any competent fabricator... give the guy a boatload of cash... and tell him what you want.
A single turbo setup in an RX-7 is going to be a heck of a lot easier than a twin turbo setup as far as packaging. They are very cramped engine bays.

ive just spent atleast one night a week for the last two months working on a RX7-LS1...
theres no way the turbos can mount there.. LOL. its a TIGHT TIGHT fit... the framerail and back of the fenderwell are in the way.
i did figure out how its POSSIBLE to mount a big single, but man, its a packaging nightmare.. i mean.. a N/A LS1 in an RX7 actually fits well enough you can work on it, but add turbo stuff, and its going to be more cramped then a modded turbo rotory in there...

Not too bad, and often times they can be had for free with a dead rotary in them.
As for being a late 80's pos.... meh, I'll run you in your late 80's pos
