How stretched is this timing chain?

Specific question from this post/project

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post4536963

1 How stretched is this chain. I'll likely do it anyway so just checking for responses like... It's fine, don't worry about it.

2 Anyone try this specific EngineTech Timing kit? https://enginetech.com/ I'm looking for experience exactly with this brand and not interested in responses like, of it's only $40 out has to be bad as over all sometimes had problems with high dollar parts and excellent results with value buys with the running score towards value parts. FYI Rock Auto has it at $40 which is less than the $77 jobbercost on the manufacturer site https://enginetechcatalog.com/Home/P...2&Model=Cooper

Pasted a list of their mini parts below.
