What oil filter is your friend using? I used to have lower oil pressure, but when i switched to mobil 1 oil filter, this helped to get better pressure. I also have a 98 camaro, and if I could i too would change the oil pump just for insurance, but so far so good, just keep an eye on the oil pressure that's what i've been doing.
