BEWARE OF IMMITATORS - cheaper timing chains are being sold as the C5-R

Thats exactly what I did, I DONT see anyone that uses the cloyes chain exclusively there for it has a limited amount of useage to show its strength at best. Where the C5R chain is used by the worlds most powerful vettes and LS series motors and has shown time and again not to break and very little stretch. So since I was going the the strongest chain with the best record the C5R comes out on TOP undisputed 
So MY undisputed opinion is, barring the cost difference, the Cloyes IRL is THE best single roller chain, followed by the IWIS C5R, then the IWIS aftermarket

An each is entitled to their undisputed claim hahaha
Im not going to argue with ya but again just cause the links are thicker dont mean its stronger if that were the case than the LS2 would be an awesome chain
From the sound of it looks like you got the right chain off ebay

Does the c5r chain from katech come with the crank and cam sprockets? I'm building a ls3 and i need a timing chain with the 2x cam signal on the gear for the ls1 computer. If not is the stock ls1 crank gear and the stock ls2 cam gear strong enough? I was looking at the jP Performance double roller Timing Chain but this thread has made me reconsider my choice. Any suggestions for a guy with my situation?

I was wondering the same thing. Can you use like a Cloyes adj timing gear set or another quality after market set with the C5R chain or do you have to use the stock LS2 set?
