Timing Chain

I have a ls1 engine but it had no timing chain and I'm wondering should I just use oem or go aftermarket; if aftermarket is the way what is a good name brand?
Thanks for any help

Go with a double roller, Rollmaster is a popular choice and available from SDPC

Which Cam???

No need to overkill, a simple J-wiss would do fine. Unless you'll have a radical cam.

J-WIS will do, much easier to install, no need to remove crank sproket (unless damaged of course)
BTW I believe this is the chain they use on C5R "LE MANS" corvettes.

That is correct, JWIS is the chain used in the C5R engine.

How much do you have to machine off your underdrive pully to use double rollers? Can a single roller Rollmaster be used without machining?
