They should work well together. I will be running this setup on my 5.3L.

Make sure you aren't running the 853 heads with the notch in the deck surface. Otherwise you are good.

I have always used ARP head studs along with Cometic head gaskets and never had an issue on FI/N20 motors I have done for customers. The GM stuff does look very nice and works really well to.

I just picked up a set of studs from Alper Motorsports for $65 shipped, I am happy with them as they look to be good quality.
