650 rwhp isn't much these days, and you'll end up wanting to crank up the boost. Derek, I would go with head studs, not head bolts. Bob

If 650 is all you want bolts will be fine. But like Bob said, if you honestly think that you will want more at some point, get studs.

just make sure you cycle the bolts several times, so that you get optimum clamping load.
