Plenty of people have with out issue. IT was a hot topic when they first came out, but the general consensus is that they work just fine and have been in many high hp motors with lots of boost and no failures. A few have broken on initial install but this was most likely user error.
I have a set I just put on mine. Screw the studs in, use a allen key to give them a snug (not tight tight just a good snug) into the block. Then mount your heads as you normally would and trq the nuts down to 65lb tq. Doing so in 3 increments across all nuts. 20lb, 40lb, and on final pass 65lb.
Make sure you get the right one for your block. Their is two versions based on year block, 03 and below used a 3 bolt length setup while 04 and up used a 2 bolt length setup.

Plenty of people have use them WITH issues as well. There are quite a few bad threads about them also.
We do sell the Pro Comp And the ARP. But honestly why by a poorer quality head stud, when a reg high quality head bolt or even a stock head bolt will work? You know how many stock JY engines have been pushed hard with stock head bolts? If you want to qualify a fastener like that, then just use stock. They will likely be just as good as the lower quality ones.
