Default Should I change the head bolts?

I'm gonna change my head gasket. It is necessary to change the headbolts too? I have a b16a.

It's not needed, but if you are going with a raise compression headgasket you might want to get some ARP headstuds.

I'm raising my compression on b20vtec, but i am still using the stock head studs. Will this cause my motor to blow easier?

That's what my friend told me. I went to the dealer and they told me that I would only be wasting my money. They said it is not neccesary on hondas.
