Which timing chain?

I'm looking for a chain that will allow me to advance my cam 4°.

What are my options for them and will I need anything odd to install one aside from the usual tools?

Links and info are appreciated.

I like the Rollmasters. Comp has a nice adjustable single if that is what you prefer.

Which is a better unit? How do they compare price-wise? Is a single chain better than a double?

im running a rollmaster double, its a damn beefy unit and i have no complaints. alot of people just dont want to swap the new sprocket over since it requires a bit of extra work but its not bad. off the top of my head i dont remember if the JWIS single chain is adj. but its a nice chain too.

The Rollmater is very nice although they just went up in price I think it is around $100. The Comp single is quite a bit more I can't remember off the top of my head. You asked is a single chain better than a double not in my opinion. The single just doesn't require the use of two little 3mm spacers for the oil pump, but like JRP said it is no big deal you are already there.
