As above please.

What are the advantages/ disadvantages of doing this?

Is the any power gain/ power loss?

More top end power. About 10 ps they say.
A bit more aggressive idle, worse low end power.

I should think so another 10bhp sounds pritty good for very little effort.
There is a catch - isn't there always? ;)

If it were always beneficial the manufacturer would have done it - it would save them money, no?

With cam mods there is never pure gain, it's all give and take. The XE cam mod benefits mainly LETs running high boost with standard turbo and pistons.
Sort of one small botch negates two other bigger ones:beer:
