Default Who all has gotten the JWIS timing chain?

I recieved my timing chain from ThunderRacing but its only the chain no sprockets just the chain. Is the $149 I paid just for the chain? Doesn't seem right. I would ask Thunder but they are closed and thought I would get quicker answer here.

Edit, ****, I just re-read it, yeah no sprocket, you use the stock one, just the chain get's replaced, I thought you meant you just got the little side links or something to the chain, not complete chain

Just wasn't expecting to get just the chain Thunder website didn't make any mention of it being just the chain. No biggy just wanted to double check.

My current sprocket/s have 80K on them should I purchase a ls6 chain set so I can use those sprockes and my new JWIS chain. Or should I just inspected the 80k sprockets and use them if wear looks minimal.

The JWIS compared to the 99 chain looks much thicker. I know that JWIS is a strong chain just didn't know that they didn't come with a sprocket. I inspected my old sprocket and looks like no wear at all. So I will use it without any worrys.

I hope these aftermarket chains are worth it for ya'll, I have 24K on a stock chain sprain" on my 3rd cam and have installed over 25 cams on motors ranging from 12K to 100K and damn if the stock chains have the EXACT same play in them.... and on over 30 cam installs NOT 1 cam chain failure....JUST luck I guess....
