It wont hurt if you retorque your head. Just be ready to by head studs if u go over 45psi of boost. F you take one of your bolts out and measure it it shouldn't be over 5.2 inches from the bottom of the threads to the bottom of the head of the bolt.

might want to look a little further into it, any time i ever replaced any thing that involved head work, head bolts went into the trash. our shop required new head bolts. basically over the years (13-14) in your case the headbolts stretch and lose integrity. so when you re torque them you could possibly end up with a bolt broken off in your block. but i have no real world experience with re torquing because of the fact that we always took this precaution. i would personally leave them alone till you get studs, but if you do i would take at least 3 steps and tq just a little under spec. hopefully someone else will chime in with more exp. good luck!
