Here's some more info about the XFi cam from the member who makes the "economy grind" cams:

You don't want to advance that xfi cam anymore than about 4 degress. They are ground on a different centerline, and coupled with the shorter duration, you might have problem with high dynamic compression, and loss of midrange power.

What that tells me is that in addition to shorter lift & duration, the XFi cam timing is advanced compared to stock.
