Best Chain
Whats the best chain for a 12? I know ZHooligan was running a 520 setup on his 250+ hp 12.

it should be noted that zhooligan change his chain very often since he knew a 520 wouldnt hold up. i _think_ it was every 5000miles.

No probs EVER with the DID ZVM50 (the stocker). Best chain for the street IMHO.
Seen unchecked, abused stock chains last 20K before needing replacement!!

Yes, he told me he learned to replace his chain every 5 or 10k miles for all his bikes, even those with stock chains. I miss him, his friendship, and all the good times I was looking forward to....

i defintiely second the thougths about don megabyte.
TB, i would definitely concur. my stock chain was also badly abused (mainly due to very logn lube intervals), and it still lasted some 30k kms before developing a couple tight links. finally replaced it around 40k but it was getting pretty lunky by then.

Yeah, what TB said...
But for DragRacing it's the EK DRZ non-oring, which is what all the 500hp Turbo guys use...
