Default Single rollmaster strong enough for h/c car???

i will be going with stage 2 heads and a decent size cam, anywhere from 228/228 .588/.588 to 233/233 .589.589. while im there, i will be swapping pulley and timing chain. id like to know if the single rollmaster will be strong enough to handle around 440-450 rwhp??

I called one of the forum vendors and they said they use stock chains... Mine looked a tad loose when I pulled the motor out..

I am going with a double rollmaster when I install my torquer cam. It is not much more $'s to go with the double.

I talked to one of the sponsors said he hasnt seen any stock ones break but to just install a new stocker while the old chain is off. He said that there are clearancing issues on the timing chaing cover when running the double rollers. so id say that a single roller is fine as long as its not a drag only car.

The JWIS chain is another good single-chain option. That's what I'm running.
