Default Timing Chains

What does everyone use as a timing chain? Katech? What about the SLP double roller?

The biggest thing I've found is a double roller put out by Rollmaster, located in Australia. It was ordered by Nick at ARE for my solid roller setup.

Haven't tried the Rollmaster, yet I live in Australia! Go figure!
What is it about the Rollmaster that is better than other timing chains? can you be specific. Am interested.
BTW, their numbers are:
Phone; 011-617-3376-7244 (be aware of time difference)
Fax: 011-617-3376-6876
Let us know!
Cheers

I had a rollmaster in my Supercharged 6.2 that was built by Howquick and I have one in my ARE 436.

I think the SLP unit is the rollmaster as well (did we confirm that ?)

There are 2 configurations. One with Torrington bearing thrust and both use Jwis Premium timing chain and have billet steel gears.

There is a single row rollmaster as well with the jwis chain and billet steel gears

After blowing the Comp unit & the direct-from-Cloyes unit (due to the unbalanced Whisper pulley), I switched over to the Rollmaster double-roller w/ ATI Super Damper.

Only thing sturdier would be gears...
