i have a 6.0 in my truck but when i was installing the cam i noticed that the chain fitted a little bit stretched or loose, i replaced with new chain and sprockets but it was the same, the question is that would it really take a lot of power because of this? does the ls2 timming chaain and sprocket will fit my engine so i can advance the timing? any help would be very appreciated. thanks!!!

Mine was like that too at 30k miles. I put a brand new one on it and it still looked loose. I have been running it like that for 3k miles now. If you search around here enough you will find that it is a common problem. I think the only fix is to get aftermarket gears and chain. Or a tensioner.

My brand new LS2 timing chain was just as sloppy as my factory 55k mile chain.

so this thing about the sloopy chain would not take affect horsepower at all?

No, just as long as it doesnt jump timing.

My LQ4 was loose as hell, the LS2 chain i installed was way better but still had some slack, the old LQ4 chain probably had over 100K on it, the cams in these weigh more than the old SBCs, so i think they wear the chains a bit faster.
