If you rebuild, go for ARP top to bottom + felpro gaskets. Until then, leave as-is.

You aren't talking about enough boost to really worry about it. Worry about a good tune. That will prevent head gasket issues. Head bolts or studs are a nice addition, but the deck of the head itself will still flex with those which would have a similar affect as head lift but not the same thing. The solution is really an aftermarket head. (6 bolt way later in the power range) But like has been said already you aren't to that point yet so just make sure you have a good tune. Not to be confused with a good toon.

Talked to 2 local tuners while I had my SS on both dynos and both said with 10lbs or less its all in the way the fuel is delivered and the aggressiveness of the tune. Overkill on the fuel delivery and stay conservative on the tune and it should last.

I run a stock LS3 at 9-10# boost with a good tune and don't have any issues, I drive the piss out of it every day.

Should you want to do the ARP studs, I have a used set. We couldn't use them in my new LS2 motor.
