I do seem to remember something like that. That video I shared references a 2650 at 22 psi, which is a good bit higher than an LT5 stock, so more resistance eating more power. Even at 150 though, it is 1400 - 150 x 86% = 1050 RWHP estimated to be safely available, or 1,125 RWHP if you use only 10% drivetrain loss. It’s just an unfortunate fact for blower cars.
Edit - saw that you updated the post to say it is 110 HP at stock levels and ~15k RPM. I can’t say for sure, but I’d be willing to bet we are talking much closer to 200 HP at above 20 psi.
