boosted cam?
Good question. Another one might be "how much boost would it take to get a 347 powered ride weighing "X" into the nines with a 220/.565-114lsa cam. Nail down a few variables.

car weighs about 3400 with me in it...gonna run about 14lbs of boost dunno if it will put it there or not...just had the cam laying around....wasnt sure just thought i would get some input
I don't think a bigger cam will make a huge difference. If you have all the bolt ons, tranny, converter, gears etc, with 15 to 20psi, you can run 9's. You might not make it into the 9's, but I don't think that cam will be holding you back.

I think thats plenty of cam. I went 10.59 @4950lbs 4x4 truck with a little 212/212, .527''/.527'', 114* 6.0L and 10.33 with a 215/215, .566''/.566'', 114* 370CI That was on less than 16Psi of boost with a Tc76, 317 heads. Parish went mid 9's in that farmont with a stock 5.3L with a Z06 cam.
