Default Timing Chain

Which timing chain do I need when doing my cam swap? Stock or performance, single or double roller?
Ive got an FTI/Comp custom cam.

i cant remember seeing a stock motor come apart with a double row chain. and for the record, there are double ROW, and double ROLLER chains. the cheap ones arent rollers at all[8D]. i picked up a cloyes, part number CLO-9-1138 (42.00 from summit, 36.00 from internal engine parts group 1-866-268-3192) its a great balance of quality and price (cloyes makes chains for ALOT, if not most of the other brands)
