Default Timing Chain Tensioner and FI

For those with built heads (springs, valves, etc), will the the stock TCT be good enough? Just want to see if you guys had to replace it with another stock one or if an upgraded one would be best?

Thanks!

I rebuilt mine once. Sand blasted the screw threads. No problem since.

Herecomesboost - Thanks for the picture of the inline pro TCT. This is the first I've seen the internals. Ballade Sports makes one just as similar.

Passman - thanks for chiming in. I was waiting for someone of your horsepower to respond.
