So how much weight have you lost with these different systems? Sorry couldn't resist, looked to much like an excercise system ad.

I bit the bullet and bought a Cloyes mainly because the $41.00 Summit brand chain wasn't available in 3-bolt bolt pattern for BB.
No matter what brand you get, you're still going to have some chain stretch over time.

Cool, another person from Va.
Go with the RollMaster, The Pro Gear has a cast cam gear where the Rollmaster has a billet.

My votes for the new sb tensioner setup.
I've had a dynagear ultra and it snapped. Not it's fault. Engine builders error. Oops, that's me. Now I've got a 49.00 Erson.

I use cloyes true rollers. they have the least amount of stretch over time. Cast or billet doesnt matter to me, the billet looks pretty , but its the chain that makes the difference. IMO
