If your looking at those kind of up grades then it would be best to get studs now! I also have read a pretty good debate on reuseing stock head bolts?

Do what you can. We can't always afford to do everything at once. All of us know this. Pay to play is real with the OBS.

Pay to play is real anytime you upgrade any vehicle. Whether it be an OBS, SD, or a dang car.

i cant say too much about affording important stuff or having time for it. I've been running my SD for 3 years with an S365 and 160/100s on stock head bolts and stock valve springs. That has also caused me to break rocker arms and pushrods 4 times in it.. so it can be expensive and reliable or it can be cheap and break a lot. Lol.
