bare bones basic
Your engine is an air pump, the more air that goes through it the more power it makes.
By porting the supercharger, the "hole" is made biggre nd more AIR can go through it.
By porting the HEADS the intake and exhaust valve holes are bigger thus allowing more air to enter and exit the combustion chamber.
You can also polish the inside of the air flow so the air flows more smoothly and is less turbulent.
(again only the basics)
