Cloyes Timing Chain ???
I'm debating on the LT-4 hot Cam Kit.... If I go this way (most likely will) it seems like a good idea to go with the Cloyes timing chain part #9-3151. Question is, Are there other sett's out there that r just as good but cheaper ??? I cant find the Cloyes under $355.95, GM parts direct offers part #12370835 for $230.78 but is it as good. Any help/guidance in this area would be appreciated......
....thanks in advance.

Yep, that's the ticket.
I have a brand new, in the box 9-3145 that I just sold to a Forum member for $50
I bought it, not knowing I'd have to remove all the stock water pump stuff behind the timing chain cover and run an electric water pump.
I decided not to go that route and ordered a Cloyes 3039 from Summit for about $80 which'll allow me to keep running a stock type water pump.

Just found that timing set on Summit's site. Didn't know one was availible that cheap, for our cars. Looks like a nice stock replacement.

If you decide to go with a stock-type setup and need the gear assembly, you can check GMPARTSDIRECT.COM for a much better price than your local GM parts dealer. Close to a $40 savings.
