Think about this conceptually
Why would you need ARP anything? Are the mains, rod bolts or head bolts the place where most SR's fail? There are people with completely stock motors and a turbo pushing 240whp and more importantly way more torque than you will ever make that haven't needed to replace these things.
Stock parts are made for 200k+ miles and can handle the power you are going to make...why complicate matters?
You want a simple reliable build, just make sure you are being simple and reliable.
