The ARPs will let you spin higher with less chance of rod breakage (especially in pre-2001 cars). But- does your cam make more power up there? Are your valve springs up to it?

There's two kinds of ARP rod bolts; with the "Performance" series you shouldn't need to resize. The "Pro" series is the ones you should resize with. Katech's are probably the best bet though very expensive; $9 a bolt x 16 = $144 so about $150 with shipping.
