It's any number of things. Granted valve springs have allowed a lot. But clutches, carburetors, torque converters, headers, and transmissions have come a long way. There's a ton of things that have gotten better, and racers have gotten smarter because there's more information available as well. Information and knowledge make a lot of HP.
