Quick Question.. Do I NEED a timing chain for a cam install???

I have 120,000 on my 5.3... do you think I NEED a timing chain?

Those with cams, did you change yours?

put in the new one.... like they said its only like 30 bucks and even if you go with a stock replacement, it will be better than a stock one with well over 100K on it.
