Default P to V? X1 vs. R1

Im running the X1(230/227, .592/.571, 112+4) and want to change to R1(232/236, .575/.578, 114+4). I figure with the differance in lift and LSA they should be real close, also the fact the heads use a stock exhaust valve wont kill the clearance on the exhaust. My heads are TEA 1.5s milled .005 with 2.02/1.55s and I used the GM graphite style gaskets. Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

The VE's on the R1 were made to match mild stroker setups. Although that cam puts decent numbers on stock cubes, MTI doesn't really recommend it as so.
I think you're better off with the X1 or choose another cam like Y1 or FM11

Was looking for info on clearance? Theres been a few stock cube cars that have ran great with this cam and Im getting it real cheap from a friend. Im looking for more power for more e.t. That all I care about.

I do not think you'll beat your actual time (11.11). with the R1.

Gotta go bigger like G5x3 or X2 at least

I dont want to fly cut. I just want to know if the R1 will clear. It seems to me it shouldnt be any closer than the X1.

Really, even if it fits, you'll be dissapointed and wished you didn't swap.
