3179cc engine vs HP

I was looking at some model info and saw that:

The 2000-2002 986 S engine of 3.179L displacement makes 250 HP,

The 2005-2006 987 S engine of 3.179L displacement makes 280 HP!

Presumably its the same core engine so how did they get the extra 30HP from it
if the displacement is the same?

Perhaps its also an opportunity for those with the older 3.179 engines to upgrade the performance with stock parts?
