Just make sure you get the whole set, both sprockets and the chain. I just replaced mine it had 170,000 miles on it and the gears were worn out! They had marks on every tooth where the chain had started digging in to it. The new set had ALOT less slack in the chain. I dont think I was too far away from jumping timing.

Elliot's94Z's list is correct for stock 94 components.
Opse. All I saw was 25th anniversary. No idea what year that was, don't know about TA/Firebird/WS6 history.

I did a full top end build and just went with a Stock replacement from the dealer(it was in stock) My motor only had 32k

Shbox is right youll need to convert to a vented opti to use the LT4 set up anyways. You can use a double roller but its not needed and I beleive you need to switch to an EWP for that also.
I have asked my times and I still have never heard of a Stock set up actualty failing.
