Default 520 chain

What's the general opinion of a 520 conversion chain for a 02 GSXR750? Would this be suitable for use at the dragstrip? What if the bike were stretched 4"? I've heard varying opinions on whether the 520 is strong enough.
We're talking stock motor here.
Thanks in advance . . .

If you plan on drag racing it stick with a 530. The weight savings/ reduced drag is nothing compared to losing a leg or busting the case. I would error on the safe side.

Talking

Whit, Mark it down on the calendar. This day comes with such rarity you really need to keep records and see if there is a certain phase of the moon or maybe the planets line up a certain way that allows you to be funny once or twice a year. After a few years we will diagnose the data so that maybe just maybe you can make 2 funny comments on the same day.

The fact that Jupiter, Mercury and Mars were aligning into an extremely rare tight cluster on the day Whitman wrote that is ironic as hell!
