    to anybody who has knowledge of these cams which one has more potential and which one can handle a smaller pulley?
    I know it varies between every car but I don't want to buy both haha. Any suggestions?

    The NIC has a huge exhaust overlap so it can handle a smaller pulley easier but it bleeds boost and NEEDS a wideband to tune.

    The XP cam has a shorter overlap than the NIC but a higher lift. Youll need more mods to run a smaller pulley compared to the NIC.

    Im pretty sure someone will post with more detailed info.

    Ive owned a GP with a NIC and have a regal with an XP. You cant go wrong with either one. I miss the idle of the nic but i love the top end of my XP.
