thats a pretty basic way of looking at it, although you want decent pistons, and some choice components in the bottom end will lead to less friction, thus more power...............

the heads, exhaust, and induction are part of the "air pump". the bottom end is drag on the air pump, the lighter you make it the faster you can spin the pump. the stronger you make it the faster you can spin the pump.
