Default Timing Chain Help?!
So Im in the process of building a 6.0 and Im stumped on what timing chain to run. I was set on the LS2 chain after seeing and hearing how much beefier it was than the stock LS1 chain. Then a buddy told me about the Katech C5R chain and after doing some research on here I don't know what to do. So I found this chain on SD Performance and it seems to be better than the stock LS2 chain. Anyone heard of it?

Here it is again on Lingenfelter:

Anyone ever heard of or ran it? It seems to be at a more reasonable price!

If your build isn't anything serious, save the money and just buy a LS2 chain.

It'll be an LQ9 in and Ex Cab truck. Won't be a DD, just a weekend play truck. Hoping to make 400-420 rwhp. Think the LS2 will hold up fine?
