You can probably get by with your oem pumps, depending on the mileage, people on here will advise against it though. it's just an extra level of safety. it's no fun to rebuild your motor and have your oil pump fail.

why does he need a cometic head gasket..? OEM will work just fine with 85mm, 85.5 or 86mm bore, I'm at 86 with stock hg. ... And it's better...

I do agree with the oil pump change, it's not the most fun of things to replace on an Evo.
I wouldn't bother with arp mains if you never plan on more then 400-500 whp, use the money to make buying manley rods easier.
