Same for cams, a cam design favoring boost may lose power NA but pick up with boost. It's all about airflow. And its all combination dependent.
I played for days at the Wallace calc looking at port speed and fuel dropout at what rpm trying to figure how much bigger a port could be vs a near sonic port.[100 cfm on the big side started fuel fall out but at low rpm idle to 1500rpm]
