Mine was done one by one and have boosted 30+ pounds for a while and have had no problems. It really depends though on if you do them right one by one or the right way, the head may still lift.

the most important thing when doing headstuds is to clean the holes completely get all the oil out of them as it wont torque properly but the oil will slowly leak past the threads and the stud will loosen up.... I installed a set on my friends car using the 1x1 method and it made 508whp stock block @ 30psi plus for a long time... the head gasket never failed the bottom end did though

none the less the proper way is to completely uninstall the head and thats what i would do with my personal vehicle. I only did the 1x1 method because it was requested done. I expressed that i didnt feel comfortable doing it lol....
