I would say a good beehive that will go to .625 would be perfect for F/I since there is no need to spin them to the moon...

So the final parts have been arriving and thought I would share a pic of the timing chain...some may argue over kill for my application but since I have been piecing the cam kit slowly part by part..to say I have saved a sh!t load of $$$ would be...well...silly.

The IWIS chain is probably the best chain avail based on my research without spendin an arm and a leg..stronger and lighter...pre-stretched..seamless roller...etc...got off of ebay when they had the 15% off and spent $60...BTR lists them for $84..https://www.briantooleyracing.com/iw...ons-30372.html

I figure on this and some other little items I have identified it's worth spendin a little extra scratch on..insurance policy..

Yup - the first time I held a timing chain I was like "Whoa - this is a lot smaller and lighter than I was expecting." It looks like a nice piece. I haven't heard any noise at all about timing chain failures in these motors, so I don't know that it's a major piece of insurance, but I don't think it hurts either.
