Youll have to measure pushrod length yourself. There is no real formula unless you have unmilled OE heads with a cam and stock lifters. Even then you should measure to be safe.
Ive always ran the GM LS2 timing chain and never had any problems.

About timing chain that no need to change gear ? Only ls2 chain ?
And can i have the part number ?
You should always measure for pushrod length, COMP has a good checking tool for relatively cheap. I have always used LS2 timing chains in my builds. LS2 Timing chains are stout for mildly built engines. If there is any wear on your lower sprocket, it wouldn't hurt to swap in a new one.
