A timing chain has no idea of knowing how much power your engine is making.

I used the Extreme Duty set from the Chevy dealer, around $300.00. Mine made 648 RWHP/613 Tq on pump/ 722 RWHP/713 Tq on the Fast Gas...

Horsepower has nothing to do with it. Speed and load are what are going to determine that.

Ditch the waterpump drive and convert the cover to a 95, then run a Progear set.

If you want to keep your stock water pump then you can get a extreme duty timing chain like the lt4 one




All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:35 PM.
