Look over in the forced induction section. This question has been asked many times.
For 800 hp you don't need half that stuff... OEM longblock with head studs LS9 head gasket. All OEM fasteners on the bottom end. Small cam. OEM intake, throttle body, and rails. You'll need a decent rising rate fuel pressure regulator.
80lb injectors will work with enough pressure. I'd prefer 120's at lower base pressures.
60-63mm turbos with P-trim exh wheels and .8x-.9x AR exh. housings would be a good start.
