with intake, chip and exhaust there is no real need in adding head studs. if you plan on getting a bigger turbo and injectors then head studs are some thing to start thinking about.

I'm pretty sure stock 7.3 injectors are not able to make enough power to lift the heads with any tune.

I know someone that could write a tune that might do it... only if the rods stay in long enough...

Sorry... Could not help myself.
