EFI 24x Timing Chain I'm going to get the billet front cover, can I just run a normal like Cloyes hex adjust with this setup, or what should I go for.
I want a badass chain for high RPMS, high comp, etc....
what are you fast guys using

So does the 3145 non hex adjust.
I think the difference is ease and range of adjust ability. With the hex adjust you can go fractions of degrees, and it's easier than swapping the keys like with the other kit.
I went with the normal 3145 though. I make sure my cams are ground the way I request them so I dont have to screw around with it too much

I dont really have input on this, I used the GM performance parts single roller. Im only going to be spinning to 6700 tho. I think the cloyes kit you are talking about has a really good rep with all of the lt1 fast guys.
Oh and how do you like your coil brackets?

Sweet, whats strange is there really hasnt been much interest in them. Considering the price, I would think people would be all over them. Oh well.

I've received a little feedback regarding double row timing sets...

Here is a follow up on the timing chain set. I just got the Cloyes Double roller set in today (9-3145). The thickness of the Cloyes crank sprocket is practically identical to the Comp crank sprocket at the base, but is .002 thicker at the teeth.
The Comp was .5450, and the Cloyes is .5451 at the base. The Comp is .6074 at the teeth, and the Cloyes is .6093.
The tension of the chain with the Cloyes is night and day. It barely deflects at all, whereas the Comp chain was a sloppy mess. According the the Cloyes tech support person, the Cloyes set is a matched set, whereas the Comp set is pieced together from loose parts.

Just wanted to let you know that I got back from the dyno and made some very nice numbers...I have a forged 383 LT1 with a f1a Procharger and 24x kit. The kit had zero issues and I was able to retain the 5 wire maf on 15psi.
Numbers were:
709rwhp/616rwtq STD
694rwhp/603rwtq SAE
Again, the kit worked just as it should and I also was able to use the Cloyes 9-3145 double roller timing chain without a problem.
