Bob Norwood did indeed accomplish such a feat with the 968 engine.
I think he blew one up on the Launchpad..... then managed a big dyno and a few epic passes....
then somebody stole the car. just stole it.... so, he went back to building world record F-cars.
the 2.5 engine has had a rougher ride getting in range of the big hp number in your post.
Duke, is probably, the current reigning king.... running, I believe, a 3.0 engine.
this guy built one that someone could ostensibly, argue as being fairly close to the practical limit for the 2.5 liter (imo).....

Whisper the name Bob Norwood in airbox intake while engine is running and see what happens.

Last night I watched a Chevy S10 pickup with a v6 and two giant blowers run a mid-9 1/4 mile. With enough money you can do whatever the hell you want. It won't be practical, reliable or otherwise, but that wasn't one of the stipulations
But you're probably right, you haven't seen it done so it's totally not possible.

In summation, apples to oranges... The 800+ hp claim will be refuted below
As stated previously, Josue would benefit more if he has seen what others have done and learn more about the car before making the age old "how much hp?" post. That has been posted and can be searched easily enough and the same is true for a k26/6 compressor map.
Corleone's build was awesome, and it sucks to hear that it was stolen. As stated by Paully, it was a 3.0 and made 560 wrhp as per the chart. Not with a stock k26/6 either. In fact if this list to to be believed Special Tool's build, which has more horse power than Corleone, only made 602 to the wheels... Not with a k26/6.

Duke's build has also been documented. @ 1.5 bar he made 514rwhp. This is with a 3.0L 16v.
