Question Beefy Single roller Vs Double roller ??

LTX buildup running a Mezziere with a welded Cover so any std SBC chain set will work. Was wondering what people thought was best for 8500 rpms.

Originally was going with a Billet Double roller just the most expensive one I could find and considered belts or gears but both didnt look promising for street duty and High speed street driving.

Seriously?


What is not "promising" about a double roller?

I dunno I figure I should go with a double since many are making tons of power with them and never seem to have an issue. I think it was cloyes though not sure that advertises a thicker chain that is much beefier and is a single roller. I just thought maybe it was stronger.
