Default New oil pump for '02 H/C install?

I read that the '01+ LS1's came with the LS6 oil pump. I have an '02. Is there a need to upgrade my oil pump during an heads/cam swap? I was planning to go with the modified LS6 pump from Thunder Racing.

Probably not. Early LS1's from 97 to 2000 had failures attributed to improper deburring of casting flash that caused pump failures and possibly engine failures.
