They put together an engine with some combination of modifications, they estimate about how much power with help from the parts manufacturers and engine builders, they lower that estimate by 5-10-15% or so, and plaster that on their website.

Best case scenario, their customers are elated; worst case they aren't sued for false advertisement.
Most builders will use numbers that are the sum of the parts used . My 496 was advertised at 510 hp it made 540 . Even identical motors have different results I expected a few HP either way but was pleased with 40 hp
