Default Which is the right oil pump for my setup?

I have a 99 ws6 trans am and i am going to be doing a cam swap in 2 weeks and have a few questions. My current set up is a fast 92 with all accessories, slp lid, 1 3/4 pacesetter longtubes into a 3in offroad xpipe and a stage 3 monster clutch. I will be running the tsp tsunami cam. My plans for the car are doing prc 215s and a engine rebuild along with a new rear end. I was curious if and what oil pump i need to choose because i what ive understood so far is that the oil pump needs to be replaced when going with a bigger cam. Also the car has 95k on it .. Any help will be appreciated!!
