Evening guys. So I'm currently having my engine rebuilt at a secret little shop around here in Austin where all the engines this guy builds are LS's. He's been around for a long time and has a good reputation and he works by himself and is always busy, usually takes 6-7 weeks to do an engine but he's definitely worth the wait. I have all my parts pretty much picked out except I was wondering what you guys use for a l99 timing chain and gears as an upgrade? Is it the same chain as a ls3? Do I need to buy a new cam phaser to get the correct cam gear? Thanks
