I *think* that the M-tuned Rods used ARP-2000 bolts in 3/8 inch diameter, in which case it would be 55 ft/lbs., using ARP Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant. (I know that the spec is different if you're not using their assembly lube, but I have no idea what that spec is.)
I do not have the ARP lube, so I used assembly lube, instead.
I torqued and loosened them three times, did not want to leave it in mid-cycle and left them loose. (and the oil pan is back on.)
I somehow arrived at 55 pounds on my own, too.
