Default timing chains...

gonna be ordering my stuff for my engine soon...was looking at timing chains and gears... single or double roller?? whats the advantages of the double over the single?? the cam shaft im wanting to go with is the Thunder Racing cam package with 918's and push rods and the cam is a 220/220 112

would the LS2 timing chain be just as good as a replacement?

Double roller is stronger, but unless you are really planning on going all out I think the ls2 chain is just fine and you don't have to worry about possible fitment problems with the oil pump and cover that can be an issue with the double rollers.

Looks like about the same stuff I have ready to go in my truck. Only I have a TR 224/224. Just haven't made time to do the install yet. One of these days...
