Default New Cam, New Oil Pump 2?

So im getting my cam put in this weekend (See sig). Will it be necessary to change the oil pump too? Or can I get by with the stock one?

It wouldn't make sense Not to install the oil pump since you have to take it off to put on the double roller timing chain.

I'd highly recommend putting on a new oil pump (LS6) and a better timing chain. They are cheap insurance!

well, basically all the pumps are about the same, but not all of them have the areas on both sides of the pump ported and polished. i have one for sale in the classified section. PM me if interested.
