Cam install extras?

I have a 00 ta with about 44k miles and I am wanting to install a hot cam. Should I replace the oil pump and timing chain or is it not necessary.
Any help would be great.

LS6 style oil pump, LS2 timing chain (buy from SDPC-->)

Of course the springs, pushrods, etc are assumed.

Out of curiosity, why the hotcam?

I would do a ported LS6 oil pump, front main seal, and LS2 timing chain. You don't need valve cover gaskets, front cover gasket, and you can even get away with re-using your water pump gaskets (Replace anyway to be on the safe side).

unrelated but you might want to look at some more cams...nothing against the hot cam but you can find some with similar characteristics that put out larger numbers
