The hybrid race tune is different from the ultra comp tune, but I would think that headstuds would be best if your going to use any of those tunes, but that's just me. Matt or Evan might be able to say if they can write those tunes knowing if someone has factory bolts to be able to use that tune as safely as they could without having studs.

I think they are recommend and more importantly checking the deck and heads since IH has poor castings to begin w/.
