Hi everyone.
 
I'm installing some ARP flywheel bolts in my Pinto, and noticed that the recommended torque setting is noticeably higher than  factory spec, i.e. ARP says 70 ft-lb to Ford's 50 ft-lb.  Any reason to be suspicious of the higher rating stated by ARP?
 
Thanks.

Stronger bolts can take more tension ...

ARP are recommended for high performance applications because they are a higher tensile bolt, standard ones are usually 8.8, as Marty says- screw 'em up tighter!
