Not quite.

Modifications to the motor release motor restrictions, increase flows, increase fuel, sometimes bore and stroke of the motor and allow the motor to create more power at the flywheel, but there is still a loss of power through the drivetrain.

there is really no way to run a motor through a transmission and have it free of drag (meaning free of hp loss).

Adding mods can make the motor more powerful, but it does not in anyway affect how much horespower is lost through the drive train.

THINGS YOU CAN DO. like lighter flywheels, better trans components, transmission cooler, lighter balanced drive shaft and fresh rear end WILL affect the power transition through the drive train. and increase the efficiency of the components.
