Well I have called my Mopar Dealer quite a number of times, so much so, that they have no idea when it is IF ever coming, so I cancelled my order.
Both the 3" inboard kit and the MP .284/528 cam show no signs of showing up.
Now, I am at a loss.
I really wanted a cam on the 114 lsa, and the MP cam, even though its OLD, it just fit the bill so simply.
I had already looked at Crane, Comp even Hughes that is what I currently have buts it's on a 108.
Hughes how ever does have a few Hydraulics with 112, with some pretty big specs for a hydraulic.
Who else does a 114 lsa?
Here is a quick breakdown of motor and useage.
440 .55 over
Ross Pistons 10:1 compression
Stock Eddy Heads
Hughes 238/245 546/560 108 lsa 582/597 on 1.6
OLD Offy Dual Quad Intake with 625 Carters
1 3/4 CPPA Headers
4.56 w/ MT ET Street 28 X 11.5
Dodge Dart Sport
What is going to change?
NEW Eddy Dual Quad Intake
4.56 w/ bigger maybe 325/50/15? Maybe 3.91's
This is a street driver, so vacuum was a concern. Giving myself that 114 lsa I though would do the trick.

if you call comp, crane or hughes, they will grind you a cam with whatever lobe center you want.

the .528 is on a 112, not a 114. The new version of the 484 and 509s are on 114s. The 528 is a solid and the 484,509s are juice cams.
The wider LSA will have a broader curve, idle better, build higher vacuum and have less over lap which would be better with a restrictive exhaust.
so whats the down side? less peak power? less total power under the curve?
how much better is the vacuum with a 112 vs a 108?
I have a 250 at .050, lift .565/.575 on a 108 installed at 105. running about 7" at idle

I think you are confusing Lobe Seperation Angle and intake centerline. You can't change the LSA, it's ground in the cam. Centerline can be dialed in. 
im not confusing them. I was just reporting my cam had a 108 LSA and it was installed at 105 centerline. I know the LSA is built into the cam and that the centerline can be installed wherever

I just RE-ORDERED it again. It turns out that 'somebody' never even placed an order for me! I just spoke to the parts manager, and a 'Oh Yeah' came from the back room.  So..... now it may be upto a week to ten days as I live in Canada, so both items are coming from US. Fingers crossed.

How much is your Dodge dealer charging you for MP parts? Last time I went to my local dealer and asked about mp parts was a couple years ago. Asked how much for their set of MP big block headers. The catalog online at the time had them for $150 USD, so I figured a bit more because we're in Canada. Guy looks on the computer and tells me the only set they have is one province over and they wanted over $350! I walked out the door and have not asked about MP parts since.
