Question Turbo & Nitrous?

Can the Z's engine handle both a twin-turbo set up and nitrous?

Sure it would with proper tuning. How long would it last? Probably not very long. Your going to need upgraded sleves, pistons and rods for an application like that.

Default Another N20 Turbo App...

I've seen this mainly in 1200+HP Outlaw cars, but I've been wanting to try it on a streetcar, not sure what it'll do to your O2's though.
There are some Outlaw racers that plumb a nitrous line into the exhaust manifold before the turbo and use the nitrous to spool the turbo faster, this is mainly used at launch, you could probably use it in a street or track acceleration situation as well to get the boost to jump up fast. The nitrous never actually goes through the engine although building boost like that at lower RPM's might cause you to run into the Max airflow problem Skidazzle mentioned elsewhere in this forum.
You can also use compressed C02 instead of Nitrous as well.
