double roller timing set in a gen iv 418 stroker??? so i’m building an ls3 418 stroker, and im debating on buying a double roller or a single roller timing set, the stroker will be N/A for a period of time but it is gapped for nitrous, reason as to why in considering the double roller, with that being said, i can’t seem to find a set that would allow me to still have my camshaft sensor on the cover, so would i need to relocate my sensor to run the double roller? or what would you guys recommend i do? thanks in advance!

I was running a single c5r chain . I swapped out to the double chain because the c5r chain had stretched.
I can’t see a downside to the double except for the little bit of clearancing work to clear the cover.

the only downside is that for me to run a double, i’d have to relocate my cam sensor

[QUOTE=bthomas;20613647]No oil pump to drive, therefore less stress on the chain.
If a single C5R IWIS chain is good enough for the C5R, Katech, Lingenfelter, it's good enough for me. Scott made a good recommendation too. I have never had an issue with Rollmaster. In fact, back before I gave it much thought, I ran a double row Rollmaster. Still have it and the gears. Only 30,000 miles on it. But as stated, no front cam sensor provision.....
