If ARP do not give alternative torque they must be the same.
I would just take it easy for a few miles(500ish) without letting the engine labour at all.

Garyrs,

The ARP con rod bolt i bought had fitting instructions supplied with them.
You apply the grease and work through a tightening/loosening sequence

Nice and easy to follow.

500 miles plenty as it is just a shell change, would not even bother to change the oil until regular interval.
