you can call schieds diesel and get studs for a decent price, but i have my head o-ringed and went with the grade 10 allen head bolts torqued to 135 ft lbs, and running up to 55 psi boost, pulling a horse trailer all over from texas to colorado and no problems, only have 3k pump springs in it, [needed some life out of it] go to a bolt supplier like fastenall, you can also find them on line if you dont have one near you, they will also build you any kind of custom fastner to your needed specs, thats where i got mine i also have extra heavy washers under them and for torquing them up i put anti seize on both sides of the flat washer and used lite machine oil on the threads, DO NOT use anti seize on the threads due to the extra lube qualities of the anti seize it will actually allow your fastner to over torque and break, remember that the higher grade bolts will start getting brittle, riet now fastenall is hooking me up with the equilavent of the H11 studs for 100 bucks for a 12 valve i am building now, and i am running strait fuel and no adders, good luck hope this helps you,

Thanks for the info, I think I will give it a shot. For a hundred bucks or so thats cheaper then stock head bolts.
