While thinking about this at lunch in engine theory a power adder (N2O,boost) are basically giving the motor more intake duration by forcing fuel/O2 in the motor.They use more exhaust duration to let out that extra burnt mixture. In a NA motor why not give more time via rocker ratio or cam duration to do the same thing since we are using atmospheric pressure to fill keeping the exhaust duration the same?

I can post the real dyno numbers later from Wednesday to show more intake duration on the same cam same motor does make more hp.
