What timing chain are you guys going with over 800rwhp? I know the doubles are the strongest for obvious reason but can I get away with an LS2 timing set on my LSX? I want to use the QTP 2 part timing cover for easy cam swaps and it doesn't work with the thicker double timing chains. Any info appriciated.

 

up until the motor i just put in i have been using a single chain.

its one of those things that is totally fine until it breaks. can't say i hear too much about chains breaking

 

id like to know also what the limit on this chain before it could break.

 

I ran it up until my latest motor at ~900 rwhp

 

i hear more about the doubles breaking than the stockers

 

sweet sticking with my ls2 chain

 

Wish I had Pics of the LS2 chain that just broke in this guys under 500 HP vette (may have been a bad batch or something), it was interesting how it broke, the chain links itself didn't break, the barrels came apart at the seams! I personally would not use it in a high HP car regardless if some folks have no issues, if it breaks, buy a new motor! There are good single chains out there and they are not that expensive, JMO of course.

What brand and where do I find them? I'm having a hard time finding a single set.

 

GMPP offers the LS2/LS7 single chain for high rpm use. PN- 12586482. Thats what I use. It says high rpm on the box.

 

I got the Comp Cams infanately adjustable LS2 single chain. I got it from Summit.

 

LS2 heavy duty chain from scoggin dickey parts ....its like $37 bucks and its stronger than stock for sure. The side plates on the chain are about twice as thick as stock. and like mentioned it wont break and will hold 900rwhp so you cant beat that....if any chain you have breaks, whether it be double or single, you most likely have bigger problems...

 

i got mine last year from a sponser it was around 40 bucks i think now is that the aftermarket one? i prolly wont ever be close to 900 so i think,mainly street car. does anybody have pic of stock ls2 chain vs heavy duty soo i know which one i got.

 

the part number listed above (12586482), near as i can tell, is just the stock LS2 chain...

google it and see

 

I know, number straight out of the GMPP catalog, but when I got it, it came in a GMPP box/bag and said high rpm on it.

 

just found my receipt i got mine from ws6store part number 12586482 so this one is the stock ls2 chain then? it cost 37 bucks
