Default new oil pump, worth it?

I will be installing a g53x on a 112 in my car next week, do I really need a new oil pump? i was only planning to do cam, springs, timing chain, and pushrods.

Since that area of the motor is going to be torn down you might as well play it safe and replace your pump with an LS6....

we sell ported LS6 oil pumps for 129.99 and have them in stock and ready to go!!!

I have a TSP one and it holds great pressure. 45-50 psi at warm idle. Never really looked at wot (it's kinda hard ) but I'd say I'm up near 80psi. I checked today and was at 70-75 at 4,000rpms.
