Unaffiliated is probably correct. I know for a fact that the "SLP" double roller is made my Rollmaster.

You can get a LS2 timing chain from SDPC for about $25 the last time I checked...

So an LS2 chain is just as good as a double roller? And Rollmaster now makes an adj. one. TSP carries them!

You don't. If it becomes necessary to advance or retard your cam, you'll need an adjustable timing chain set.
