Another option is the Cloyes IRL chain. There is a thread in the internal Gen IV section on these chains with photo's.

Also, if you go with the Katech make sure it is the real deal. There are some less expensive knock-offs around now. Price will tell you quickly.

The LS2 chain is fine. Everybody has been freaking out lately because people have been breaking them on the Vettes, which has not been the chains faults. It's due to the harmonics (or lack thereof) of some of the pulleys being used.
I use LS2 chains on almost all of my builds and haven't had any problems in almost 2 yrs.

I've never had a problem on an F-body PERIOD with any of the chains or pulleys. It seems to be a Corvette only design thats breaking them lately due to harmonics issues.
I've used SLP, Powerbond, ASP, ATI, etc etc etc on F-bodies and neither has given me a "problem". However my pulley of choice on F-bodies is the ASP, because it is the lightest of the choices.
