Rod bolts? LOL.
Filing rings isn't a bad idea. Anytime you plan to run high boost on pump gas, opening up the factory rings is a good idea.
Cam and valvesprings, again not a bad idea. Cam surprisingly doesn't have nearly as much effect on power potential as it does on behavior. And valve springs for boost are a good idea for a high mileage engine because over the years they soften and cause float.

Most of the time they do more harm than good. If I had a dollar for everytime someone spun a rod bearing with ARP bolts in their stock rods, I would have a full sponsorship.

Power has absolutely zero direct effect on rod bolts, so unless you plan on shifting at 7600 RPM, you're not going to need them.
