The timing chains on these cars seem to be pretty stout. There are alot of LS1's around with well over 100k on them and never had a problem with the chain or oil pumps. My car has 111k on it with all stock internals, a local guy has 200k on his with all stock internals.. So, they will last a good while.
I have only heard of a few stock chains breaking and that was under some serious loads with some mods done to the engine.. I have an aftermarket chain and ls6 oil pump for my car thats going in as soon as I do the heads/cam swap..
