I was just researching that question myself. This article involves a higher lift than stock cam but the same principle applies.
With a 1.6:1 rocker, this gives us 0.508-inch valve lift at max lift, an increase of 0.031 inch. It doesn't sound like much, yet it was enough to show a sizeable gain, mainly because it increases the amount of time that the valves are open at higher lifts, allowing more air to flow through the heads.

Yes, Upgrade the valve springs at the same time. Rollers add mass and the higher lift can cause coil bind.
