A stronger thread count? What is that?
Anyway, this is not a matter of opinion. Either the stock head bolts do or do not stretch. Find me examples of where they have stretched, and then it will be fact. I personally have been running 26+psi for 2 years now on the stock head bolts.
It can actually be MORE damaging if you do the one-by-one method, so while you're trying to PREVENT problems, you are potentially creating them. If you remove the head and do them properly, then that's a very good thing for the car, but no one does that unless they are swapping or rebuilding the head. Many of the Evo gurus recommend NOT doing head studs if using the one-by-one method, because there is no evidence showing that the stock bolts will stretch. By no means is 24psi the limit...
