High RPM parts? i know rod bolt are the main thing for high rpm but anything else? pushrod, spring, and any other part recommendations? oh and whats the best order or sequence to tighten down the rod bolts? I'm gonna be putting in the MS4 + PRC stage 1 heads and i wanna take full advantage of the upper rpm power, SAFELY if i can use that term lol.

The springs are the weakest link. Before you start worrying about rod bolts, you have to change your springs. While you're changing them, you might as well change out the pushrods. After that, you'll want to think about rod bolts, and getting the ARP rod bolts should make 6800-7000RPM relatively safe.
I'd also recommend upgrading the timing chain. The LS2 timing chain is a common choice due to its low cost and the fact that it'll use the LS1 timing gears.
