You don't need to change the oil pump.

I have the stock oil pump in my car with MMS229 CAM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

You need the oil pump for high RPM , and if you want to change it go with ARE ported oil pump <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
