Timing chain choices

I'm trying to find a good timing chain for my cam swap. I'm either going with LT4 hot cam or a CC503 at the biggest.

I notice theres a broad spectrum on summit. Either 100 bucks or 300 bucks. I have no experience with running anything but what came in the car. Any suggestoins on how much to spend/what level to get?

The GM set is tempting.

Here is a link to summit's selection for the LT1:

idk the part number though

If the factory sprockets appear to be in good shape just go ahead and buy a stock replacement GM chain for ~$50 and you will be good to go.

Cool beans. The car has 75,000 miles on it so it can't be too bad. Thanks for the tip guys.
