Double roller timing chain

Where can I get one and how much do they cost? I have heard that if you have alot of mileages this is a MUST. It makes the timing more accurate, makes the car run alot better and adds up to 10 real hp.

Edit: How do you clean the intake and TB?

Yep; that's the same Cloyes chain I put into my 2.8. Some people claim you can buy that Cloyes chain for $20- but I've never seen it.

You buy "TB and Intake cleaner for Fuel Injected Engines", remove your intake hose, start your car, and spray the cleaner into the TB while working the butterfly valve. Go in 20 second bursts; if you empty the can all at once you'll overheat your catalytic convertor.

Sorry. Nope. My distrib does not carry them. I am still waiting to hear back from summits wholesale dept. I have called once a week for the past 4 weeks. Nothing. I want to get them so I can get a few things for my car cheaper like the Cat-Back, sway bars, front end bushing kit... ECT ECT...
