C5R Timing Chain Dampner a good upgrade The http://www.xmsengineering.com/engine/ site show a $104.95 GM GENIII/LS1/LS6/C5R Timing Chain Dampner. Is this a C5R specific part or is it standard on all LS1 engines? Their info says:
GM Timing Chain dampner for the GENIII engines that include the LS1 and LS6. This dampner is designed to reduce chain slap keeping it tighter for engines operating above 6500 RPM.

Does anyone have more info about the part and whether or not it is a worthwhile upgrade?

Do a search, if I remember correctly I read that there is absolutely no need for that dampener, particularly if you are running an after market chain which is tighter than stock to begin with.

Can anyone else offer up some info? Doesn't the C5R run a good chain AND this tensioner?
