Default Need TSP rod/arp2000 torque value

Hi,
I have a TSP stroker kit on my LS1 since a couple of year
I have changed the oil rings yesterday
A few month ago, the house where was all my docs have been flooded (6 feets for 4 hours)

So, i need the arp2000 rod bold torque procedure

FYI :
On the bolt, i just see ARP 2000
On ARP website, they tell to contact rod builder
I have pm and mail TSP yerterday... no awnser yet
I have mail to customer service department also
I Have try to use the TSP Live Help for chat with a sales expert... never seen someone connected (it was a black day for me yesterday)
Now, i m back to my home, not in the same area/state, and will see my engine before friday
So, i REALLY need the torque value this friday

Best regards

Yesterday was a national holiday in the US. You'll likely get a response from TSP today.

I thought for torquing rod bolts that the torque value was to ballpark it for your rod bolt stretch gauge?

ARP give torque for EOM rod :
Chevrolet Small Block LS1 "Cracked Rod" (ref 234-6301) :
40 (ft./lbs. with ARP Lube)

Chevrolet Small Block LS1 hi-perf "Cracked Rod" (ref 134-6006) : 45

For my TPS rod (ref of the bolt unknow) : ???

It's really supposed to be done with a rod bolt stretch gauge.
