Any performance engine builder will tell you studs are the way to go. I believe it has quite a bit to do w/ how the force is applied with a stud vs bolt, that being a stud generates less less stress then a bolt.
To quote Corky Bell "head bolts are an accountants decision. A head stud is an engineers". I know Caroll Smith has echoed this statement as well, but I couldn't find it in his book quite as readily!
