New timing chain with cam upgrade?
Installing an LT4 hotcam kit with the 1.6 rrs and was needing to know if I have to get a new hd timing chain set. If so which one? If LT4 HD set then do I have to switch to a vented opti? I just got a new opti and this is on a 94 non-vented.
Will also be adding a 100 shot dry nitrous set up.
thanks.
p.s. I meant to say timing chain kit not just the chain.

So then do I have to get a new non vented opti. I was reading Scoggin Dickey's description and they say... well I'll attach a link to the page below.

No offense but you don't wanna just change the chain if your switching to the HD chain. Get the whole kit. You can get them for about 190 bucks. Do it right the first time.

So if I buy the LT4 HD timing chain KIT, do I have to change anything? Will the stock timing cover/opti/etc. work?

You dont want to do that. For the cost of a new opti and the ex duty chain. Just get a cloyes double roller and a csi pump and you want have to change the opti. and you will probably save $100 or so and free some hp up with the electic h2o pump.
