Default single row adjustable timing sets

I know this has probably been hammered to death but didn't have much luck with a search.

Is there anyone who makes a single row adjustable timing set with a torrington bearing, preferably with the adjustment on the cam gear? I've already got an LS2 chain so if I could just buy gears that would be a bonus.

Will consider double-row sets if I have to but I don't really want to deal with timing cover interference issues. I'll be running the ported LS6 pump from tsp.

Thanks in advance for any help.

edit: came across the cloyes hex-a-just sets, anyone using cloyes pn# 9-3158A?

Doesn't TSP have the Cloyes single row hex-adjust? Look through their catalog...they have a large selection of sets.i think the hex will take the slack out? Thats what i want. Or do u go to oversized gears? Someone enlighten me please.

The hex-a-just is for degreeing the cam. The cloyes gears are made oversized to take out the slack. They do come with a thrust bearing.

sounds like everything you could want then. i'm assuming that the cloyes chain would be sufficient for 450ish rwhp?

I'm using the Cloyes. The chain is by IWIS. It is nice and tight when installed. And, you can set the cam timing. It's a nice set.

I've been hotrodding Chevys both small and big blocks for 35 years, and never used anything but Cloyes True Roller timing sets.
