you can keep your gears and just use the ls2 chain. the ls2 chain is heavy duty.

LS2 chain is beefier than LS1. You could run the chain using your LS1 timing gears, just the chain.

i guess I have a mis understanding of what you guys are talking about. Take a look at this link:

http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&sid=330#P5565

The bottom two are ls2, and the bottom one is ls1. Which should i go with? or is there something else in the market everyone else is using?
