ARP rod bolt torque specs?

I'm rebuilding a high compression B20 that came with Carrillo rods, JE pistons and ARP rod bolts. Does anyone know what torque specs to use on the ARP hardware? Should I use OEM torque specs or something different?

Sorry I can't help with the torque spec, but I'm interested in your build. I am planning on building up a carbureted B20, so I'd like to know more about your engine mod choices if your goals are similar to mine. I'm not thinking race car. My orientation is toward torque for street performance for my '67 1800S.

I recently acquired a B20 with an E head. The head has the fuel injection ports plugged, so it was converted to carburetors. I haven't had time to do anything with the engine other than turn it over by hand to see if it was frozen, which fortunately it isn't. I don't know anything else about the engine yet, but I'm expecting to be able to use it as a core and increase displacement and go from there. Along with the B20 engine and E head, I got a pair of Italian made Weber DCOE 45 carburetors. I haven't had time to disassemble them to see how they are configured, but I think they may have been installed on the B20 engine I just got. The carbs came with manifolds matching the Volvo E head.
