“Horsepower sells parts, torque wins races” type comments are nauseating but I am happy to see that this guy is legit.
I would add that an engine only generates torque. HP is how fast/how often the engine generates torque.
To increase torque:
-create a larger force on the piston ( more air+fuel via FI, higher compression for more energy extraction from the fuel)
- increase mechanical advantage (longer stroke)

So to increase horsepower:
-increase the frequency of torque generation (more cylinders, increase rpm)
