Good SINGLE Roller Timing Chain

Cam someone give me the part number for a good single roller timing chain...

I already have an EWP so I know i can run a regular small block Chevy one....

I currently have a Double Roller but I have purchased a EFI connection setup from a friend and it comes with the cover for a single roller....Its not really in the budget to spend another $500 on the parts I need to convert it to double roller so I need a good single chain....

Thanks
Matt

Yea the efi connection with the offset reluctor and billet cover will work for a Double roller....unfortunately the setup I bought does not have the reluctor or the cover needed for the double roller.....So Single I go...

Did you try a different pcm? That's a ton of $$ to throw at the car to hope you fix the problem.

No that is prob the only thing I didn't try....The local guy that tunes LT1 cars won't call me back to get my spare pcm flashed...so that is why I haven't did that....

However, I am getting the deal of a lifetime on the EFI connection so I guess I may as well...

Doing it over again I would have done that set up, the double roller adds a lot of cost when you factor in buying the new timing cover. All Mike's stuff is 24X if you use Gen III or 58X if you go Gen IV, the 4X stuff is for the 96-97 LT1. Doing this swap, use as many GM parts as possible and use a GM crank hub bolt.
