im thinkin about all these different setups and lately iv been thinking of going with the trickflow as cast heads/ms4ish cam/92/92....and i was wondering if the stock timing chain will hold up for about 5k-10k until i get some more money for the safety mods, thanks

the ls2 timing chain is now the stock one. it is strong as hell and run by many on here problem free. dont even have to change the sprockets.

problem is i have a ls1 timing chain on a 98 ls1 right? wondering how that will hold up? 5k-10k

they dont make the timing chain you have anymore. it was replaced by the ls2 chain. it slips right on in place of the stock one, all you buy is the chain. replace the cam and crank sprockets if they look bad.

cool, i see what your saying i guess im just wondering if i use the chain i have (ls1) will it hold up for a short time? u know what i mean? will a ls1 timing chain support that kind of power and revs for a short time. chain has 30k on it

and at what point will the injectors take a dive?

Spend the $$$ now. You are right there why risk trashing the whole engine, and if the chain does make it you have to pull every thing back apart and do it twice.

good call, ill just do that then

chain is cheap and injectors will be needed on that setup if you are running stockers.

An LS2 chain is 35.00 from TPS.

I got the HD Chain for a bit extra protection.
