Brice,

Forget the LS2 timing chain set. Instead, order and have TSP install a Cloyes Hex-A-Just True Roller timing chain and gear set, part number 9-3158AZ. This gear set and chain are vastly superior when compared to the LS2 set.

Also, purchase a Melling M10355 oil pump. This is Melling's best pump for LS engines.




Good luck with your build.

Thanks Pumba for those recommendations! Heard people talking about the c5r chain setups, this must be what they were talking about.

No, the C5R chain is another beefy chain from GM

Sorry I should clarify: TSP has the Cloyes hex a just with the c5r chain combo for sale on their site. It is more than twice the cost of the ls2 but damn that setup looks beefy!

I almost went with that setup, but the C5R chain was backordered and Loud Pedal Motorsports said the Hex a Just was unnecessary for my H/C/I build... we ended up installing an LS2 chain instead
