I understand your concern, and it's good that you're thinking about safety. Your stock brakes should be fine, though. If you're real worried about it, just get some good pads, and take good care of your overall current brake system (i.e. proper bleeding, rotors, fluid level). A stock LS swap does not merit any upgrade such as GSR brakes or "big brake conversions."

Of COURSE it will be safer. Whether that degree of increased safety is necessary for your setup/driving habits/driving conditions, well that's up to you.
