Ive attached the Manley Rod Bolt spec paper in this post. It shows 65 ft-lbs using 30wt mineral oil as tested by Manley. They also show recommended torque value range between 60-70 ft-lbs is acceptable.
EXTRA INFO USING ARP MOLY LUBE
ARP 2000 bolts have their own spec torque setting, irrespective of the rods themselves but they do allow for a little extra torque/stretch. These are ARP manufacturer factory specs taken from the papers inside the ARP boxes using ARP moly lube when I rebuilt EVO and GVR4 engines. M8 is EVO 7 bolt crank rod bolts (37 ft-lbs). M9 is GVR4 6 bolt crank rod bolts (40 ft-lbs).

Now, a little bit further down the page on that forum link you will see:
***** EAGLE RODS & ARP2000 ROD BOLTS FOR GVR4 6-BOLT CRANK
As per paperwork, the 3/8" (9mm) ARP2000 rod bolts that come with Eagle Rods state 43 ft.lbs with ARP moly and a bolt stretch of 0.0055-0.0059" with no more than a 0.0001" stretch limit.*****
Note: The above quote is for 6-bolt cranks. It shows a 3 ft-lbs increase in torque setting for M9 bolts using ARP lube (40 to 43 ft-lbs = added 3ft-lbs) when torquing for aftermarket H-beam Eagle rods.
So if EVO 7-bolt ARP2000 M8 rod bolts was 37 ft-lbs for stock rods using ARP lube, then add the extra 3 ft-lbs to be 40 ft-lbs torque setting using ARP lube for aftermarket rods. I would consider that acceptible.
