I know depending on the exhaust size you increase top but loose low. Headers do the same or all around for headers? performance cams are usually mid-high. stronger valve springs help response same with lighter flywheel and aluminum drive shaft.

Am i getting these right? if not someone explane please.

Pretty much correct. Exhaust helps up top because there is less back pressure, but you can loose some torque for the same reason (same thing with headers). Flywheel and driveshaft are simply less rotating mass. When you put power down, less has to be dedicated to spinning these things before it reaches the ground.

stiffer valve springs

stiffer valve springs keep valves from floating at higher RPMS....among other thingsif you want high RPMs, you also want a lighter reciprocating mass, and slower piston speeds helps alot
