Default Good idea to use ARP headstuds with Cometic gasket?

I got a .074" 4 Layer MLS head gasket from Cometic. I'm using the headgasket on my boosted B16. Should I use the ARP head studs or can I keep my stocks?

since your head is already off might as well replace them with arp's... save you the trouble down the road

i agree use some studs they are stronger as well. i dont have much experience with thick head gaskets, but if your bolts are too short you may wanna look at getting some gsr studs they are a little bit longer than B16's

Definetly use the ARP's, as stated above head bolts should not be re-used. I actually prefer AEBS, but I dont know how much longer they will be available due to AEBS closing its doors
Cometic gaskets are awesome, we use them in every application we work on.

I plan on getting new headbolts also. Going to go with the OEM headbolts though.
