A new timing chain will not add power. After many, many miles of beating on the motor, the timing chain will become loose. And if there is a good "wiggle" to the chain, then you should replace it. I have seen motors with up to 75k on them that do not require a new chain. It all depends on how tight the chain feels when you try and wiggle it...
