what timing chain for a 94?

i have a 94 and dont want to "upgrade" to the vented opti ( i will be going ltcc) and i was wondering what timing chain i can use (besides the lt4 one) that will work with my stock timing cover (i dont mind modifying it or whatever, as long as i dont have to buy another opti and cover) i will be using and electric pump so that shouldnt be an issue either.

You can't use an LT4 set with a non-vented opti. There is nothing there to drive your opti. To use a non-vented opti, you are stuck with the stock gear or there are a couple of people that make a very high dollar stronger replacement gear.

I'm using the Cloyes "True" double-roller.

I was in the same boat. I ordered the Cloyes true roller only to find it wasn't splined. I wound up using a Dynagear from Advance.
