the XP has some nice umphh to it.... at least from the youtube videos I've heard.

Some of the videos the XP makes the car sound like its busting out a V10 and its super loud... and other videos it seems like its quite a mild cam...
the XP is a little baby cam. you can make good power on stock heads with it, but is it still not a big cam. it doesnt sound that mean unless you drop the idle or run a fairly straight exhaust. a stock cam sounds mean with a straight exhaust.

The s1x has a little less overlap and lift on the exhaust side so you don't loose nearly as much boost. You don't want to spin the blower any faster than you have to. You always want to run the biggest pulley you possibly can while perfectly balancing that with hp. The smaller the pulley the more hp it robs.

Another really big thing that ticks me off with this community is a very large amount of people really have no idea how a cam works, what overlap is, lift on stock heads, ect. They just want a cam that sounds mean. Mean doesn't make the car fast, hence why there's handfuls of cammed gtp's running slower than my car when it was on rockers. This is why i suggest having PRJ spec you out a cam, he'll design it to work perfectly with your mods, or he already has a cam available for them. IIRC his cams make more power than anyone else's too.
i am one of those guys who is going to be running a cam because it sounds mean. i have a TEP with more intake lift (.574/.566) that i am going to be running later on. it will sound badass, but probably never get the power out of it like most guys that do cam setups. i also am in the boat of non-intercooled with high boost. i am unique in the way i think about my car. id rather run about 18* of timing at most and then crank up the boost as much as i can on that level. i like my blower to whine like crazy.

if i really wanted to make power i would call PRJ, but i am not in the game to be the fastest guy or the guy with the most power. i want a mean car that is entertaining for me to drive.
