Default Rods/pistons

I blew the ringlands up in my #3 cylinder. I didn't have any knocking or detonation. I'm just assuming it was damage done over the course of three turbos and beating up the motor for almost two years and I got some unexpected detonation.

Anyway I'm replacing the rods and pistons. I'm not sure about what else I would need and I have a few questions. So this is what I'm getting so far.

Wiseco 9.1:1 standard bore pistons with rings, Tuner Toys rods with ARP bolts, ACL rod bearings, Felpro head gasket.

Is there anything else I need?

I was looking at a lot of different companies rods and most of them come with ARP 8740 bolts. Some sites vary on their capability. Tuner Toys said the bolts can only handle 7-8000rpm but Manley says they 8740 bolts can handle 8000-9000. Has anyone used these?
