Timing gear set

I was originally looking for a comp set, but had a heck of a time finding an application search (why I posted). After looking around, I think i'm leaning towards Cloyes street true set number 91103. Thanks for the heads up

I have the Mopar Performance timing set as well. The timing marks on the crank gear are stupid, it has a very large dot on it (which is not the one to use), and a tiny little dot that you can barely even see (use this one). Just be very careful when using this timing set.

Don't have a tensioner on mine either... with a good chain, you don't need one... with a stretched chain, there would be an advantage, but you're moving to a double row chain to avoid that (stretching chain).
A tensioner will increase friction and may slightly effect power and mpg numbers... it may also increase noise a little.
With a bigger cam there maybe more need, but I'm not sure... any of you guys with the 408 Stroker use a tensioner?

I wouldn't add a tensioner. I added one when I did mine and when I tore back into that part of my motor a few months ago the double roller chain had scored groves in the tension brackets which are plastic. If you go reading a bit the tensioners are only really designed for single roller chains. I also had the Mopar Performance like a said above and I didn't like the timing marks. For the purpose of just OCD hopefully in about a week I will be tearing back into it again to do the plenum and I will be replacing the Mopar chain with a Comp Cams which I am VERY pleased with. The marks are easy to read and its a 100% USA made chain. Looks very well made and I'll be removing the tensioner and putting the original thrust plate back.
