Default Timing Chain for LS2

I'm in the process of having my cam installed, and i was wonder since we're there, if we need to replace the stock ls2 timing chain. i've been reading about the katech timing chain, and there is another company that is making a double roller timing chain for the ls2.

my question is, do i really need to change the timing chain??
if i change it, would the kateck one fit without any problems?? or should i go with the double roller one???

Thanks

IMO, no. The LS2 chain when installed with the dampener is a pretty solid unit. I have one installed on my LS2 402 that sees 7000 rpm at WOT with no problems.
