New water pump for cam swap i am doing a heads and cam swap, i am replacing the following things:
PRC 5.3 heads stage 2.5 w/EHT .675 springs
LSR cam 227/235 .614/.624 113 LSA
TSP ported LS6 oil pump
LS2 timing chain
LS7 lifters
LS2 lifter trays
MLS .040 head gaskets
all necessary gaskets and bolts will be replaced
i am wondering if i should be changing my water pump as well during all these changes? i have 130,000+ miles on my LS1, have great compression and regular maintenance...just need to know if i should change the water pump with a stock replacement.

yea i dont need an electric one, a belt driven one is fine, my budget is what will be best for my car, so saving money is good, but i dont want some off brand crap.
