To my knowledge, marine stainless is about the equivalent of grade 2 SAE, or
ungraded.  The only advantage stainless has is it doesn't corrode.
Personally, I use brass nuts on studs for the exhaust manifolds of LBC's,
brass also not corroding and not galling.  I've heard of high strength
stainless, however.  I also use neverseize almost everywhere exposed to weather.
