These kits ship with Carrillo bolt lube to be used during installation." Torque spec is 55/lbs.

Thoughts? looks like there available, maybe.
I think it's a huge mistake to assume stronger is better here

It's been documented that the standard ARP bolts in the S54 and S65 distort the bore due to being too strong.

I would either use the standard OEM bolt or the BE-ARP one. The advantage of the BE-ARP one is, as pbonsalb stated, simply install is way way easier
