Stud it or not?

I'm wondering if i should get my head studded? I been searching it a lot on hear and theres a lot of good info but i figured i'd start a new thread anyway. With my smarty on sw9 i can hit 53 psi of boost real easy and thats not even with my tst turned up, so i'm thinking about studs. If i do get it studded which studds should i go with and should i bottom tap? Also thinking about getting heavier valve springs while in there.

If you want to keep boosting that I would definitly go with some studs. 48-50 psi is pushing it.

53 psi might be running on borrowed time. I would stud it, gives you a little extra insurance.

ARP 2000s for the studs should suffice and valve springs are a thing of beauty, not to mention an easy upgrade while you are in their working on the studs. The injectors will have to come out to install them though.
