What y'all think you now about chains?




Kinda hard to argue with this as I believe was mentioned above.....

IWIS makes a nice chain that doesn't break the bank, either. I think it is around $80.

LS2 chain on mine. stock balancer, no issues yet. I'd like to upgrade to ATI whenever I find a free $350 maybe I will. Until then I'm spending money to go faster not smoother lol

Just note that IWIS (JWIS) itself doesn't guarantee a strong chain. They make several 3/8" pitch chains that will fit the LS motor. So the next question you need to ask is which JWIS chain are they actually selling for $80. There is a reason that the C5R chain sold by Katech was a lot more money.
