chains: EK530DRZ thicker side plates
Chain observations:
I cut down my drag set up RK530DR for a top end set up, and when I tried to get a replacement for drags, it seemed like no one had em.
So, Cheeseman got me a EK530DRZ; same non-Oring config, but the side plates are substantially thicker.
RK530DR
inner plates - .104"+/-
outer plates - .095"+/-
weight (160 pins) - 7.93#+/- (some assumptions here)
EK530DRZ
inner plates - .120"+/-
outer plates - .104"+/-
weight (160 pins) - 8.25#+/-
So it looks like the EK530DRZ with thicker plates is about 0.3# heavier. hmmmmm...

And the pins are a tad bit thicker than the DID chain. Tried to put the master link in a DID chain and the EK was alil thicker.

Yup, I just put the DRZ on my bike. All of the NHRA pro-stock guys run it because it is stronger and lighter than the 630 chains they used to use.
