timing chain
whose still running stock chain? will be installing turbo kit soon, thinking about upgrading the sloppy stock chain. wish i did it w/cam install but i was too tight i guess. never heard of one breaking, just piece of mind. 55,000 miles and running very stiff patriot dual extreme valve springs. i crank on it pretty good (6800 redline).

A few guys have asked about the Iwis chain also, not sure of anybody using it, but it looks like a nice piece:

I went with the LS2 chain. Here is what it was supposed to look like vs. and old chain.
Here is what it really looked like vs. the old chain.
My truck is an 05, maybe thats why. Either way, if i had the cover off I can't see being in there without changing it. I initially thought it would be thicker though.

I remember noticing that my LS2 chain was meatier than my original, but I'm a 99...I'm sure that if we did a little research (or if Jarrod - 1Bear chimed in), that we'd find out that the LS2 chain did become standard equipment somewhere along the line, whether it be 04, 05 or whatever
