As long as you can time the cam correctly, no.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. I don't think I've ever heard of a stock timing chain failing on a stock motor.

I'm still rocking a stock timing chain and I've already been through a cam swap, I'm freshly boosted, and the Monte has 140k+ miles on it with no problems in site. I wouldn't be worried about it if I were you.

lol. I thought about saying something similar 3800power. If you need help with it a Haynes manual will be enough to guide you through it.
