If all your doing is a cam swap you would be fine with a ls2 style timing chain, reason being there a touch thicker that the stock ls1 chain. Im running a ls2 chain wiht no issues. if you go double you wil have to use spacers and new crank sprocket, i have not installed one personally but i have hear there more trouble than its worth on a 500fwhp engine.

As far as a underdrive pulley im using a Powerbond and have not had any issues with any of my accessories/pumps.
