Warozz with the 7.3 unless you want to get radical with boost studs are not required.
Your bolts should be good for at least 12 pounds with no issues the 6.9 have smaller head bolts and stretch easier.

The reason I say 12 is you can go 15 but after awhile as with anything you push to the max all the time it will eventually break. yes you should be able to do 18 but don't cry when you are changing gaskets. So I don't even mention over 12 when I think you can push 15 for awhile 12 last forever.
What am I going to do when I am on the cassier or in the middle of the yukon 200 miles from the closest wrecker and futher from parts or a shop at 30 below with a blown headgasket. so I try to leave a safety margin as some people rely on their rigs kinda the reason horse thieves used to be hung.
