The simplest I can explain it is:
Your basic formula:
HP = (TQ * RPM)/5252
How do you increase TQ generated by an engine? Make it breath in/out better, make more air get into the combustion chamber. That's what exhaust, intake and induction changes do. Read: Supercharging, turbocharging, nitrous injection, porting (intake and exhaust), etc...
