New Cam going in, which timing chain? Stock replacement?

Hey 93CobraR, you helped me out on wheels not too long ago, maybe I can help you out here. I also have the FMS double roller and it works great. I installed it straight up. This is the best way for a street driven N/A car.

Make sure you install it straight up, a buddy of mine tried to rush and put his car together and he put the timing chain (Edlebrock multi-index) on advanced. The exhaust valve kept hitting the piston, I couldn't figure out why. I told him that if the valve timing is off the valves would hit the pistons. He swore that it was straight up, but with that dumb look in his eyes I didn't think he knew that when I said straight up.

Well, he put it together before I got there and he threw away the box and I didn't know if it was a multi-index chain or not. I finally figured it out and it runs great now.

BTW, I have the Chrome Cobra R rims (17x9) on my car and it looks sweet. I will post pictures sometime soon.
