Should i retorque my standard headbolts?

I have been reading a lot of sites and articles about the mkIII in the last month.

There was a website that claimed everyone should retorque their standard headbolts to 75lb from the standard 58, with the chance of actualy CAUSING a headgasket failure, but once the 75 was doing good it wouldn't blow anymore.

What do you guys think? Is it an option to do this or are you saying it's bad.
Oh, and i'm NOT going to do a metal headgasket unless i have blown one.
