Evaluate Timing chain sets

Yes there is politics involved in the tensioner. That is due to some members that have installed them because they took info delivered from others. Now that they have one they have the cats meow.
You just can't give an opinion on here without insinuating that those that don't agree with you are doing things the wrong way and/or are stupid. If you actually took your own advice (the advice you gave @72bluNblu) you would just stick to the facts and move on. The bottom line with this is there are many using the tensioner with success including engine builders like hughes engines who only do mopar. To the op my advice is to call hughes and Imm or a few other mopar engine builders and see what they say. In the end whatever chain you get if you don't use a tensioner pull the fuel pump in a few hundred miles or so and check the chain, that is the only way to know for sure if it worked out.

The one thing @Old Man Mopar and I agree on is the tensioner is a band aid, but when the majority of chains stretch I would rather have the band aid than a sloppy chain. Being curious I have also measured the affect a sloppy chain has on camshaft timing and was surprised to find out it was not as much as I expected, about a 1-1.5 degrees for a pretty sloppy chain. Running four speeds will stretch a subpar chain quickly.
