Default Do I need to do a double roller timing chain with my mods?

I ordered StageII E heads, milled for 1/2 point increase in compression, LS6 intake, asp pulleys, StealthII cam, LS6 oil pump, and i was wondering if i should go with the LS2 timing chain or double roller.
this is on a 99C5Auto.
thanks.

I would go with one of the two you listed. Some say the double is to much, and alot of people have great sucsess with the ls2. I have the double and it is prety beefy but its a great piece of mind with the amount money I've spent building my moter.

I went with a LS2 chain. Double roller is overkill, but that's not a bad thing.
