Question: are arp bolts torque to yield?
Answer: ARP head bolts are made of a high tensile strength steel. They have an Fy of something like 180,000 psi where your typical steel building is only made of 50,000 psi steel. Typical bolts are around 80,000 psi yield. So you would need to put twice as much torque on the bolt to actually get it to yield.
