Recommend me a timing chain

Is a double roller necessary? Sure it will be less than 600hp, just a small turbo build. I heard somewhere there was a "high rpm" or stronger ls2 chain than the stocker ls2....any truth to that? Opinions please

I initally went with a double roller + torrington bearing assembly and changed over to a Jesel belt drive. I've got the adjustable double roller timing chain, damper, torrington bearing + all the stuff if your interested. It was only used for 15 1/4 mile passes and Shawn @ VA Speed can vouch for the condition.

Are these adjustable ?

No point if you can't dial in the cam properly.

If you run heavier valve springs and spin the engine higher then std a double row is cheap insurance.
