Get the C5R or the C7R timing chain. Replace with NEW GM crank and cam sprockets and you're good to go.

I agree with Bolo. You might even want to look into a serious double roller since it's twin turbo.

Iwis C5R with ls2 damper and all GM sprockets is the to go no double sense it has to be used without the damper which makes noice and stretch fast.
