Default When do you need to worry about....

Oil pressure. Will I need to do anything about oil pressure when I install my AFR heads and CheaTR cam? When is oil pressure an issue?

Its an issue when it doesnt come up after the initial start up - general rule is to wait about 5 seconds. Hope that helps.

Also a ported LS6 oil pump is a good choice.

While youre changing the cam etc. you might as well just pick up a ported LS6 pump to replace it with while you have the timing cover off anyway. Most sponsors have one for around 130. This way, you have a little more piece of mind and reliability.
