I know I'm a DSM guy, but..
There is nothing worse than completing a big buildup, and having a car push coolant.
My advice would be o-ringing either the head or the block (Shep did my head, great job) and GOOD head studs.
More than likely the good head studs are not necessary with an oringed surface, unless you are pushing massive boost, but they are good insurance.
Just a reminder that you won't really have a band-aid at this point if your tune is off, so be sure to trust your tuner and your setup.
