We have billet adj timing sets with the c5r style chain for $130. They use a torrington thrust bearing to space the cam gear correctly but alsp to provide less friction between the cam gear and thrust plate. Youll be alot more precise lining these dots up vs the dot to thumbnail like on the stock timing gears.

When doing a new chain, I like to use new gears as well so they can develop their wear patterns together. For peace of mind on all three of my LS engine projects I went with upgrading gears and chain from stock. The C5R chain is an excellent choice and looks like WS6 Store can assist with the gear selection. Best wishes with your project.
