Upgrade--how does it work???

I've checked the archives and the Taliaferro site, but I can't figure out how changing some software in a car's onboard computer could increase HP by 25 percent.
What exactly does the computer DO? And if it's just a matter of tweaking a few lines of code, why doesn't Saab do it to begin with? If the car is capable of a 170 to 234 HP boost just by swapping air filters and changhing the software, why isn't it sold that way?
What physically occurs--the physical parameters of the engine can't change with a little kick in the computer's pants.
Thanks.
