Default Reliable adjustable LS3 timing chain?

I was wondering if any timing chain experts know one that fits the LS3 (no dry sump) and has a quality chain.

I havent used one with the slap guard thingy.

Tuners? Vendors? It will lead to a sale.

Double or single as long as it fits right.

I use a Cloyes gear set with a C5R chain for my LS7 build a couple of years ago.

Why would you buy a separate C5R chain? Some sets come with a JWIS chain.

Sorry about that. You are correct. I remember seeing the Katech box for the chain.
It was 3 years ago.(remember I'm a old guy)
