Default Timing Chain & Oil Pump question

I知 about to install heads/cam and I知 just trying to get all of the required items ordered.

I have a non adjustable Rollmaster Double roller chain that I bought for the car a couple of years ago and now considering a ported of high flow oil pump.

Will the rollmaster chain work with the following

Stock Pump
Thunder Racing Ported LS6
Melling High Flow Pump

If not, what adjustable and non adjustable chains will work with the above mentioned pumps?

Thanks!

I know it will work with the stock or the ported LS6, not sure about the other, I had one on a stock pump and a ported LS6 from the same sponser, and I would think it would work with the other high flow pump since they shyould all bolt in their the same way.

I don't currently have any HV pumps. I do however have a RM non adjustable chain that I bought a couple of years ago (still in the box).

I just need to know what will clear with chain I have, if it's still even a good part to have.

from what i've heard and seen from my set up... a double roller chain will not clear the stocker for sure and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't clear the LS6 (at least it wouldn't have cleared my ported LS6)

i have an LS1 Comp Cams Adj. Timing Set brand new in the box, NEVER USED!
pm if interested
