When I assembled my rods the torque required to get the correct stretch was 15-20lbs more than the ARP torque value. They had been torqued/measured 3 times before final installation and ARP lube applied to the threads. I did use a micrometer to measure the stretch on the rod bolts. Just takes longer to accomplish as the stretch gauge I had did not stay tight enough for me to use accurately.
