Those pictures I posted above are from the service manual. It is possible you noticed the difference in open or close angle, not duration.

As I mentioned above, the swap will net more lift as well as less overlap at higher rpm, which will net more power. So you are not wrong as to the gain. It is as would be expected given the differences.
