I think either way you are okay. The reason I mentioned what I did, is there are many companies building super chargers, turbo chargers...and other head/cam packages that push LS power way up, and none of them "REQUIRE" a rod bolt swap.
We are working on a 700 rwhp single turbo 1999 Trans Am right now that has been flogged by the owner and is still sitting on the stock bottom end that has 140K miles.
If I had the engine out in parts and was assembling it...this is a no-brainer question. However...I too would be hesitant to disturb the apple cart if there isn't currently a problem knowing that there are plenty of motors putting down tons of power that have full stock bottom ends.
