Default What timing chain to use?

Well I am about to start my cam swap proj. in the next week or two. Well anyways i've got everything except for the t/c. I have heard that i really dont need a dble roller t/c. I heard that a heavy duty sngle will be strong enough. Think the c5r are running katech sngles? But any insight would greatly be appreciated.

Parts going on install in sig.


Thanks.

I just installed the LS2 TC in my car during the swap. Best bang for the buck I think.
