Do I need a timing chain?
Do I need a timing chain? Do I need a timing chain and if I do, which one?
I am planning on doing my cam install in the next couple of weeks and the only thing I have left is to decide on the timing chain. Here is what I am going to install:
Comp Cam 224/224 .581/.581 112LSA +4
Comp Cam Revised 918's
Comp Cam Chromoly 7.4 pushrods
Melling Hi-Volume Oil Pump
I was thinking about upgrading to a LS2 chain, but wasn't sure if I needed the entire set, just the chain, or an adjustable set. Any advice is appreciated.

Correct. On a more advanced setup, a stroker, or blueprinted motor, then youll want an adjustable kit. But on a cam only swap, just replace the timing chain and go have fun.

Truth, you just need the chain. We have the LS2 chain for 37.52, or an IWIS chain for $42. Either will be adequate for your needs and works with the stock gears

The stocker will have some slack in it. But its fine, if it has 60+k maybe consider changing it. its just a PITA due to the oil pick up tube and if you mess the seal up, your tearing it back down again..... 
Yeah, I only plan on going to 6200-6300, but I figured it is better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to tear everything apart and do the install just to have the chain break a week later. I live by the saying measure twice, cut once, LOL.
