Default Rod Bolts..

I know I have seen threads on this before but they got pretty lengthy....
I just purchased a low mile 2000 LS motor to put in my 98 Z and want to know should I upgrade to Kaetech bolts and is it OK to replace them one at atime so I dont have to tear it all the way down and replace the bearings and do a hone job????

Its a risk, there was just a post a week ago froma fella who swapped bolts and then ended up having a failure. unless you are seriously hopping the engine up,,I wouldnt touch them.
