The best chain to get is the double roller. The single chain that dodge puts on factory is not the best in the world, even with the tensioner. I just bought one myself, just haven't had the time to install it yet. Just remember to get a complete set, chain/sprockets/etc.

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

The aftermarket rollers are much better. The OEM units are good enough to do the job, but that's all. Before EFI, the 318's actually got a chain that was narrower, and the cam gear had nylon teeth! How cheap is that? It got the job done, but after 50K miles, it got ugly in a hurry.
