I used one on the stock sprockets. Fit was tight to, next to no slack.

So i can get away with just buying the chain and itll keep my valvetrain good and tight? This is looking like the way im gonna go.

My sprockets at 180K were just fine. I went to an adjustable t-chain so I had to replace the top sprocket but didnt feel like pulling the bottom and I had no issues at 6800rpm.

The LS2 chain is a single roller as is the stocker, the double roller looks like two timing chains stuck together side by side. The sprockets are totally different from one to the other. The double provides added strength. but is a bit overkill on a stock NA 5.3 IMO even with a bit of nitrous. This is why im just gonna stick to the LS2. Its fairly inexpensive and it can handle all the power a NA 5.3 has to offer.

i was just thinkin i could get it for a little added tensile strength and thightness, where did you get the LS2 chain? seems like a viable option as long as it would fit on the 5.3
