can someone please fill me in, i am oblivious on this subject. should i consider doing one when i do my cam swap to MS3 (in like 2 weeks)??? if so, what all do i need to get to do it and where can i get it?? thanks yall

 

You should IMO always swap in a new chain during a cam swap. The LS2 chain is the chain a GM dealer would now give you because our chains are no longer available. Either The LS2 or the C5-R chain would do you good. If you want some added strength and don't mind spending a few extra bucks then go with the C5-R.

 

LS2 is stronger. Not saying the LS1 chains break all the time but with a cam in there it is always good to have extra support

 

LS2 chain is clearly stronger and thicker. LS2 sprocket has a 1x reluctor (solid raised section) on the cam gear thats not needed for LS1s since our cam sensor is located on the rear of the cam. It however, does not interfere with anything so its all good I would replace the chain/sprockets together. Yank, a sponsor on here, has the LS2 sets for right at $70 shipped. The thread is in the classified section.

 

Sorry for the huge pic, LS1 chain is on top and the LS2 on the bottom

 

Holy resize....

 

My monitor just sent a message reading "PC LOAD LETTER" and then blew up.

 

the ls2 chain definetly looks beefier

 

I copied and pasted from another thread and didn't feel like resizing it

 

wow. big difference ls1 and ls2...
