I just installed a Rollmaster Dual Row Adjustable Timing Chain/Gear Set and a ASP Underdrive Pulley and did not have any issues with getting everything to line up.

No machining or spacers required.

I have a Rollmaster double roller, TSP ported LS6 pump, and new stock balancer. No alignment problems here.

The new LS2 chain is much heavier and dampner is available. I posted pics.

No machining for the Rollmaster and it is a very nice looking piece of work.

Rollmaster can be found on several vendor sites for <$100. When used with stock balancer, no issues with stock fitment/alignment. Now, if you acquire an older generation ASP pulley with a no recessed shoulder on the outer diameter on the inboard end of the hub, it will need machined to clear the oil pump bolts/shims in order to snug up the the face of the crank timing gear. If a newer generation ASP, it will have the shouldered outer diameter on the inboard end as needed to mimic the stock pulley, thus fitting properly with double rollers without any machine work required. Lou (LGM) and I figured this out together some 6 months back (and 2 needlessly machined pulley's later!).
