Stock is fine for rear. Front you want the LS3. Did the LS3 on my stock GenV LT4 motor (blew the front with a F1A-94 @ 18psi at a road racing event). LS3 installed not a single issue since. Ensure you do have a good catch can to relieve the pressure over stock if you are upping the boost. Also did the same thing on my new Texas Speed 416 (LS3 front, stock rear).
