SB Cam Thrust Plate P5249637 no longer made? Only tensioner now?

Under acceleration the pull side of the chain stays tight. If your chain gets that loose that you need to take up the slack just think how much timing change there is on the pull side. Get a good Chain and throw the tensioner in the garbage

The tensioner set up was installed on the motor that flew apart built by Ryan at Shady Dell. What a joke . Look at the oil grooves he "Machined" in with a "cut off wheel".

Don,t know if any of you guys have ever run a crank trigger ignition,
But look at your timing with a timing light with a chain and you will indeed see some slight fluctuation of the timing cause by slight slack in the chain. If the timing is fluctuating, so is your cam timing.
Check it again with a crank trigger and it is rock steady.
I would think a tensioner would help this, but a real gear drive is the ultimate.
