Might double check, thought those were for the unvented opti setup.
Why do you want to buy another timing chain anyway and if buying why do you want to go aftermarket?
If you actually research it the stock chain is pretty stout since it was designed with the waterpump load in mind.

The MSD opti is pretty much junk, though the MSD cap and rotor are a nice way to add a vent to an unvented spline drive early opti but since you have a 95 it should have come with a vented opti.
Is yours pin drive or splined shaft? Should be pin.
You are looking in the wrong place if you think a stock chain setup is over $200.

That one does not have the LT1 waterpump drive stuff.
Far as the MSD had you done your research FIRST you would have found the reliability on that is indeed worse than stock and you could have saved a couple hundred dollars to put into something that would have made more power.
I run a bone stock opti on my setup and it has seen 7000rpms, all I did was loctite the rotor screws. In 11 years of daily driving LT1s sometimes owning as many as 3 LT1 cars at a time and the sedan having seen strip time for at least the last 8 years I have NEVER had an opti problem, hell it was almost 8 years ago that I did the first cam swap.

This is what I would suggest. If you're still running a splined driven opti, I would just reused the camsprocket, but purchase new timing chain(Cloyes C506)stock replacement, and a new crank sprocket (Cloyes S505 oversize). It will be alot stronger and no loose slack like the stock chain.
If running a pin driven opti, purchase a new GM 95-up cam sprocket. Hope this help

I kind of assume so but figured we should be clear.
Since his screen name is 95 I would also like to assume he has a 95 so it should be pin drive.
