Default absolute best single timing chain 8500 rpm, 800 lift?

Just like the title says. Bought the katech c5r chain, but is there anything better for a very very aggressive cam profile 8500 plus rpm and 800 lift super aggresive lobes.

IRL chain is top dog, C5R is second.

Contact Jason at Katech. They obviously ran the chain in their C5R at the time and he would know more specifics about the RPM and the cam profile. The IRL chain that SDPC has was originally designed to resolve some issues with the Olds Aurora Indy car motor (hence the Indy Race League or IRL). Obviously this chain will turn some RPM but you should also consider the timing chain damper to aid with chain whip.
