So, then a roller of the same specs would make much more power than the flat tappet.O.K.,if that's the case,then making a roller with with same lift & duration would be the perfect advertisment-"look how much more power our rollers make vs. a flat tappet".But they don't make the similiar speced cam.

Seems to me,they(the cam makers) DON'T WANT a side by side comparison.Because then people are going to see how much power they aren't getting for their $$$$$$.
