Finishing my list for 04 GTO, need timing chain help
04 GTO M6.
Read that I should upgrade to the LS2 stock timing chain if nothing else. When you search LS2 timing chain set, it brings up a set such as an 05 Chevy SSR w/LS2 and lists a stock style Cloyes set for around $28~$40. On the performance list for the SSR they list the Cloyes part #93158.
When I looked up the LS2 05-06 GTO it only lists the Cloyes #93158. Which is like $150+.
I'm only looking to make 400-500hp peak. Going on a daily driver, I don't wanna modify anything. Will it work properly or just put an LS1 chain back on it?

I just did mine and went with the whole SET. If you buy just the chain it's pretty cheap. Texas speed sells the chain or the set for a good price. I would recommend changing the chain and sprockets if your going to be removing the oil pump already. The LS2 chain fits without any modification btw.

I know the LS2 set is tried and true, in fact I planned to run it on my setup. But when I called TSP to order I was told that the In-Motion single roller set was actually better than the LS2 and cheaper. Looked like a quality piece when I opened up the box, just thought I'd pass that on to ya.

Great lookin Z^^^
Next question lol... I was talking to my friend and he said that they oil pump had to be "set" a certain way once it is pulled off. Like all the gear teeth had to all be set the same distance and clearance... I've never heard of such a thing. He is supposed to bring me his LS1/LS6 book and let me read on how to do it. My car has a few miles so I really wanna put a chain on it.
