Want to do minor upgrade on motor to be safer @ 250whp
Right now it's totally stock motors
runnig t3 60 trim 10 psi on GSR, producing 250whp. Tuned AFR 11.5:1 properly and ignition is 19 deg hi-cam. Hopefully conservative enough.
I don't have money for building motor yet, so is there any minor upgrade I can do to "strengthen" my motor a bit? This is a daily driven car so I don't wanna blow my baby
1. Thicker headgasket - lower compression, then raise to 12psi (I heard this is not a good idea)
2. ARP headstuds
3. Blockguard

It's fine as it is, IMO.
Just don't be a lead foot.

forget the blockgaurd... waste of money
the head studs are a good idea, your motor can take 12psi from the t3 as it sits now, just get it properly tuned

What will the headstuds do? It will prevent the gasket from blowing but my limitations will still be the piston and rods right?

if you decide to get gasket, then might as well get headstuds - they are reusable so it pays back in the long run.. if you're not doing work youself, save the money for rebuild in the future.
