thanks but that really doesnt help with my question. anyone else? i just really dont want to have to worry abut the adjustability. is it easy to set up right or what? just wonder about a strong single.

well, i don't know of any heat treated single chains. the adjustability of the one i linked to is moot. you just put it on 0* straight up and leave it alone. double chain just takes longer to stretch over time. so that keeps the crank and cam events inline over a longer period of time. the only thing that would keep the crank and cam events in time perfectly is a gear drive. unfortunately, this would transmit all the cranshaft vibrations into the cam and set off the knock sensors.

and as with anything else two are better than one. spreads the stress load over more area.

i gave you the link because it's cheaper than at SLP. i guess i should've answered you at the same time.

Unless you're making monster power, my opinion would be to get a new GM chain and call it a day. That's all I'm running

You could also look into the JWIS chain. It's used in the C5R Corvettes at the 24 hour Lemans race. It's a really nice chain.
The JWIS chain is the one on top in these pics.

The Katech chain looks identical to the new GM lS2 chain.

yeah i mean i know of the definate advantage of the double, and i dont want to cut corners to save money at all but if i can get a good single that will get the job done and get it done right, then i would. but thats why im asking because i dont really know. where can i get the chain the c5r's use? figure if they use it its gotta be good

does the katech chain have split rollers? cause i seen the ls2 has split rollers on it, not cast as one piece. just noticed it in another post. dont know if the others are split also.

LS2 replacement Chain through SDPC (sponsor) Sells for like $20 something bux. And stronger than a LS1 chain. I thing you would be fine with that chain, no worries.
