Baseless hearsay. A girdle isn't needed unless you're running some crazy RPM. I've spun mine to 8500 several times with stock Hyundai main bolts with no problems.

I run the Cometic regular metal headgasket and ARP's. Tons of dyno pulls and street runs, I got a small leak on the headgasket from a bit too much timing. Put it back together with a new gasket, no problems since.
