A question of the ages. Many people say OEM is the way to go, some say MLS. I liked MLS myself, but have used OEM before.
Studs, get ARP L19s.
Just make sure you do your research prior to going down the hp goal road. While some guys make it look easy, it takes time, effort and Money. You cant spell Research without SEARCH. Search the site as there are many builds out there people have had great success with, that would get you around your goal.

stock head bolts and the factory organic gasket will do you just fine.

I didn't think they were torque to yield bolts? I would reuse them on a mild setup.
