Default Timing Chain Replacement

Changing my cam and oil pump and thought it would be a good idea to change the timing chain as well. Truck has 44k and I plan to shift at 6400-6500 rpms. Is it worth changing the chain and is it worth it. I dont want to open this thing back up once its together.

I seen the rollmaster double roller for $99.00. That seems like a good deal. I also have heard of people changing to just an ls2 timing chain.

Any thoughts?

FWIW, I'd recommend you reconsider. The LS2 timing chain is an excellent replacement and costs about $35-40. If you're changing the oil pump and not changing the timing chain while you've got it off, I think you're making a mistake.
