Default Which timing chain?

Getting all my parts together for a H/C swap and I am a bit confused on which timing chain to go with. I see several listed on Thunder's website, but which one is worth the money?

Also is the QTP plate worth all the $$$$?

thanks

wow I was about to ask the same question. Not trying to steal the tread but what is the advantage of a double roller timming chain?

most go with the ls2 chain. A double chain is stronger, its got 2 chains instead of one.

Ls2 chain is all you need. And yes the qtp 2 piece timing cover is worth it. Already planning on my next cam.
