a stud with no clamping force being applied to it will not wind out with a nut, unless the nut is applying vertical loading to the threads of the stud (ie: you're pulling on the nut as you undo it with your fingers). it doesn't really matter anyway, if the stud winds out you just let it, you thread your nut off, and you wind the stud back in the same way it got there in the first place, easy
whilst studs are fantastic for manifolds (especially problematic ones like K motor extractors), i would tend to say that a new OEM set of head bolts, at less than half the price of a set of ARP head studs last time i looked, would be sufficient to provide even and accurate enough clamping force to a street motor
if you're running an oft-disassembled motor, or a highly modified motor (race motor, bulk boost, etc) then chances are if you can rebuild it yourself and/or can get it to make big power reliably, they you're already cluey enough to know when your engine needs head studs and when it doesn't
