A power band isn't an actual part, it's a rev range (or band) at which the frequencies of the pressure waves in the exhaust mainly as well as the intake more or less match up with the piston speed, or frequency, to give optimal cylinder filling and compression. This obviously will be the RPM range at which the engine will provide optimum torque and power if it is relatively high in the rev range.

The most important part in this is the exhaust system and whether it is properly tuned so the power band is actually noticeable or at an accessible RPM range is a whole different story.
