What don't you understand? Do you not know what the definition of a power adder is? (blower, turbo, nitrous)
Edit: and that's what the class rules are for the standing mile record in the street class. Any power adder or combination of power adder(s) but the long block (engine block and internals) must remain 100% stock. If I remember correctly, the fuel system minus the injectors must remain factory as well to compete. And if you read the description of the youtube video it'll tell you the same thing
And to quote it so maybe you'll understand this time:

Yes maybe you'll understand...
That record now stands at a verified 257.7 miles per hour reached in one mile, a full 4.6 miles per hour faster than before. Kennedy arrived at that speed in a Ford GT that’s received more than its fair share of modifications.
Hennessey Performance’s John Hennessey tells us that the record-setting GT is motivated by the same 5.4-liter V-8 engine block as a stock Ford GT,
but it’s been extensively changed with new innards like pistons and crankshaft. Hennessey also swapped out the stock car’s supercharger for a pair of Precision turbochargers, which make a combined 34 psi of boost. Put it together and John says it “would conservatively make 2000 horsepower to reach that kind of speed.”
