530 shows good to 250hp

perhaps you should up to a 630

EK Motorcycle & ATV Chain

Most 530 chains won't be all that different from each other based on the EK specs you posted. D.I.D. ZVM 530 and Tsubaki Sigma are about the same, and are the top end (as far as I'm concerned) re: chains.

+1 on a 630 if you're turning that much power to the rear wheel.

With the extra power you can stretch a chain sooner than normal. Are you running around applying 300hp to the rear wheel all the time? The guys making 500+ run 530 chains and they're not snapping. Get yourself a good quality 530 chain with o-rings and keep it well lubed and adjusted. It'll last a goodong time.

"Chain stretch" is a little bit of a misnomer. The 'stretch' comes from the link bushings wearing out, and from the sprocket teeth wearing down. A way to combat that if sticking w/ a 530 chain is to use steel sprockets which will last a lot longer than aluminum ones will. I've had both, replaced the aluminum ones far sooner even w/ moderate riding, not being aggressive cause I wanted it to last longer.
