Default Stock fuel system good for H/C?

This Spring I'm throwing on a set of PRC stage 2.5 5.3L heads and an MS3 (or similar) cam. Can the stock fuel system safely work with this? If not, what do yall recommend?

Thanks.

Get a pump if car is high miles.fuel filter (obviously). Larger injectors if needed. Some 30 or 42lb

what nemess said. Hands down switch out that fuel pump and filter and youy gonna need some bigger injectors as well. I would just go with the 42's because most likely if you ever do anything more to the car these will still work well down the road.

The car only has 67K miles on it, but I'll go ahead and get a pump/filter and injectors. Any recommendations on the pump/filter?
Thanks

Walbro or deatchwerks for pump. Just a stock replacement filter is fine. FYI, I made 440/408 with heads/cam on stock fuel system. Added a FAST 92/92 and made 468/418, and ran out of stock injector. Added a walbro pump, and 40# injectors.
