i am doing a heads and cam andsome of my old DSM buddies are telling me to stud the head. now i know i did that on turbo 4's but we are pushing 400+ through 4 cylinders and 2 liters. now with 2 heads 8 cylinders and maybe 500hp at the most i cant see the need. what do you all think?

You have to replace the head bolts when you take them off anyway, so go ahead and do it. It is a little more expensive, but consider them as insurance on your FI motor...
