You need to raise the compression ratio at the same time.
There are tons, most likely hundreds, of just magazine dyno's showing that is not true in any way.

OEM's go with small cams for many reasons. EMISSIONS and gas mileage being big ones. They go with the smallest cam they can to still get the HP level they want to sell. If they can get 300hp from a tiny cam, then they don't need a bigger one.
