need some info regarding oil pumps

I'm adding the Double Roller timing set the 2nd week of July.
Julio/Dave want to add it for safety.

I was wondering about an oil pump as well?
I have 38psi HOT in 90 degree weather at idle and up to 70psi under WOT.I'm going to the timing set so should I go new pump too?

Unless u guys think my psi is okay.
Then I'd leave it alone?

Here are my other options if I change it.
Stock 02 LS6 pump or Modded pump?
Which one and would u do?

Anyone with experience please help.

I had the same quandry. I am in the middle of a heads/cam/intake swap right now.

My stock pump puts out the same psi as yours and has been working just fine but I had too many people say dude your already down there just do it. I had 55k on the stock pump so I went for the Katech ported pump. What' another $110 right <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
