This magazine article testing produces some unexpected results, however the benefit of a duel plane manifold is clearly seen looking at the torque curve.

The following I have taken from my old site and is a collection of camshaft information , mainly comparing Comp cams to one another. 

While the images are not appearing, if you click on them it will take you to the original image.

You will discover the shorter the @ .050" duration the more low RPM power will be made.

HYDRAULIC FLAT TAPPET HYDRAULIC ROLLER TAPPET

 With a short duration camshaft, a flat tappet style will make more power. This is because the advertised duration is longer on a roller cam, (same @ .050" lift spec) so that it can absorb the store energy(inertia) in the heavier hydraulic roller lifter, before it begins lifting it aggressively. This extra duration reduces cylinder pressure and therefore reduces power.

Once the duration becomes longer the benefits of a fast lifting hydraulic roller out way the lower cylinder pressure by making it back up with increased flow.

The factory engines use hydraulic roller camshaft for warranty reasons, greater reliabilty, not for making more power. A roller needs work to do, long duration, high lift, a small cam just doesn't benefit from a roller.

I have custom cams ground by Bullet. They offer a much wider selection of profiles, more specificlly engineering for each application. The cost about $50 more than a Comp Cams off the shelf cam.
