Cloyes 3039 ok for high HP?
I have a timing chain question. I've been running a double roller in my race motor for years. I sold the motor to a friend, it's being retired from racing and going into an Impala DD. We're switching back to a single roller chain. The car will see an occasional 1/4 mile.
I've done a bunch of searches but most of the timing chains listed in the older posts are not made anymore, and everyone else says switch to the double roller set
. It looks like the Cloyes 9-3039 is the replacement single roller for late LT1 cars, will it handle 450 hp?
I don't want to put a weak chain in and grenade the motor...and I can't see paying $300 for the 9-3651x3.

What is the reason for switching? What happened to the one in the engine?
