I would contact NitrousOutlet. There are a few guys that work there that run LT1s they would be glad to help you with your questions and set up

I had a m6 lt1 back in the day with comp 306 cam and bolt ons with 125 shot i had a fresh motor with new timing chain thats something u normally replace on a cam swap because of the new rpms ur spinning I would assume u have a cam now with 350 hp on a lt1 so u may already have a new timing chain something like that can never hurt to install Is it needed probally nor depending on ur miles and abuse u give it u may wanna replace it its not already been done on the cam swap

You are correct they change the chain, but I guess the maching shop put a stock
Chain! It's new thou! Block has around 8,xxx miles.

Stock chain will handle it fine for a while. It will eventually stretch. An upgrade should be in your future.
