timing chains: is a comp cams double roller a TRUE roller?

I want to replace a timing chain with a good roller setup. I'm looking at the comp cams Hi-Tek roller setup ( p/n 3136) for my roller cam and cloyes roller design. I don't know if a roller is a roller of if TRUE is a marketing gimic. I know they are both great chains but the comp cams chain is cheaper and still etter than a the factory chain.

Well lined up a comp true double roller chain with a dynagear double roller. One cost 110$ and one was 16.99$ The only difference was the comp's chain was a little better quality.

I'd stay away from Dynagear personally.. but anyway

Yes, the 3136 is a true double roller timing chain, says so in the catalog. FYI its for the 87-up factory roller cam blocks.
