New timing set

Just bought a new timing set from Scoggin-Dickey. Is it normal for LS chains to have some slop, when new? It's a JP Performance set.
Thanks, Chris.

I was surprised by how much slop my LS1 had in it. The LS2,3, etc have a tensioner fwiw.

My new LS2 chain had a little movement in it.
