Actually, I believe that Nikasils are fine with steel head studs. It is the LN Nickies that specify ARP Head Studs which adds more big $$$$

So now we are talking 911, often stock induction, low budget, used cylinder, low CR stock piston, low HP builds, with an engine that has a superior head stud pattern and that still the factory stubbornly held on to problematic divilar studs because they had the correct expansion rate.
I doubt if you will find a single 911 pro builder using a 5K P&C set that will use a set of stock steel studs.
If you are not looking for more HP than why the hell would you even do this?
