OK so my shadow serpant sprocket is bent like a tin can and I'm sick of buying the shitty aluminum sprockets that shadow makes so I decided I will buy a profile imperial sprocket which I am assuming is made alot better the only thing is the teeth are 3/32" I guess and my kmc drop buster chain is 1/8" so my question is can I still run that chain on the profile sprocket with no problems?

My fit key sprocket has held up for almost a year and it's taken a fair share of beatings. If you want something more durable than that you can get a fit key guard sprocket.

Kink astro sprocket.
Yes 1/8 chain will work on 3/32 sprocket. It helps with chain alignment.

You can, and my Imperial was awesome for like a year of my use, and a buddy bought it (among other parts) and it is still going 3 years later.
Look into the Tree Chromoly one. Or get a guard sprocket and stop mashing them into stuff.
