2012 Mazda RX7?

Dropping an LS1 would be my choice, if I were in your shoes. The FD is a bad @ss looking car. There's SO many kits out there for converting the car over to LS1. Not to mention that the car does 12's in 1/4 with a bone stock N/A LS1! My friend's had a mild heads/cam package and was in the 11's. An LS1 or LS6 would be the way to go. You can still get an LS6 for cheap. Or get an LS1 and put the LS6 heads and cam on. (2001+ LS1s from an F-Body already have the LS6 intake!)

I'm sure the turbos set you back the same cost as an LS1.

Yeah, the T56 is pretty heavy. I had to move a couple of those too. But they're still lighter than the autos... 4L60's are WAY heavier. (Especially before you dump the trans fluid)
