Stock isn't a roller so I would at least go to a roller chain. I don't know about the cloyes.

Why would you go to a roller??

The stock chain treats those of us who bother to use it just fine. I have a s505 in the garage just have not used it yet so I can't comment on if it is a good idea in practice but I like it in theory.

I had the LT4 Timing Set with mine, it's a full-roller setup.
