yes, but isn't that a double roller chain ?
i just bought a new ls2 chain

isn't there a "cheap" lower or upper adjustable sprocket for single chains ?

i REALLY don't like the "DOT TO DOT" i still have to measure how much my cam is off from recommended manufacturer timing

Yes we are 100% sure .there is a comp double chain. there is also a comp double adjustable single chain. you can adjust the cam gear for +/- 6* or rotate the bottom for +/-8* giving you 14* of adjustablity each direction. The only issue is you cannot use the top comp gear with the stock crang gear .The dot to dot will not be "stright up".We ran into that with a car from another shop making crap for power turns out they just used the comp cam gear and the cam was advanced 6* showing "Dot to Dot"

you got any order numbers from compcams for that single adjustable ?
i would not mind just installing the upper (if that will be enough adjustability for getting my cam right) , i don't like the dot to dot method anyway but prefer to measure the correct cam timing
