Gears will last forever.

At 50K, you're chain is likely still o.k.

When the time comes, LS2 chain has thicker links, is a direct fit on the stock gears, and can be had from SDPC for $40.

Thanks, I will look into the ls2 chain. For 40 bucks its good insurance.

Well, if you are going to the swap the timing chain out you may as well put in a cam . It will be right there and you have done almost all the work to get to it. Scoggin Dickey has a good selection of those as well.

You are only giving yourself more reason to do it by saying that.

if stock 100k if work done (ie head/cam) I would say 50K after the job. Specially if your shifting points are now between 6500-6800 on a LS1/6800-7200 LS2/LS3
