Timing Chain help

I am doing a H/C install and I am starting to think about my timing chain as well. My car has 109k miles on it and I was wondering if i should look into an aftermarket chain and sproket setup b/c of my mileage. I am really thinking about a double roller but i have heard good and bad. i really want to do more then just an ls2 chain.....what about anyone that sells an ls2 chain with new sprokets

thanks
Dustin

Save the money, just get the chain. Unless your sprockets have some crazy wear, etc... Just get the chain, it's all you'll need.

That's a nice looking setup, but I am not sure it will fit an LS1.

Like the others have already said, go with teh ls2 chain. Its nice and beefy, and has proved itself over and over again in some stout setups.

I like the LS2 chain because it's a direct replacement, nothing difficult about it.
