Not necessarily, high compression, high revving, high tune engines seem to generate huge amounts of power from relatively small boost pressures.
The boost required to get a 6.0L LS2 to develop 1000bhp might be huge compared to getting the same power from a 6.0L Enzo V12, although the V8 will necessarily have more torque because it makes the power at a lower peak RPM.
Honda V-TEC and BMW E46 M3 motors both produce masses of power from modest boost.
