FD stat gears

Ive read about using rx8 stationary gears and s5 stat gear and that s6/fd gears will work also. But ive read that the FD gears arnt factory hardened, i was wondering if anyone knows how well these gears would work around 300hp?

FD stat gears don't drop in.
The front one requires the FD Torrington bearings to work correctly.

What about RX-8 gears? or do they need different bearing windows as well?
