If you roll a 200lb boulder up a hill it takes energy. Now if you reduce its mass to say 50lbs it takes less energy and can be rolled faster.
Same amount of power put behind it the less the person has to work same with the engine.
Still making 200HP stock but reduced weight especially in rotating assembly results in less power lost in the drive train. Less parasitic loss in the drive train interpolates to more WHP
