One thing some folks don't consider when substituting higher-grade bolts is that the nut must match the bolt. If it's going into a threaded boss in an engine block where the female thread can't be upgraded, it might not be a good idea to go with a higher-rated bolt than original, especially in the case of cylinder head or main bearing fasteners. I have substituted studs for bolts on occasion on cylinder heads subject to high compression and RPM situations, since it's possible to use much higher torque numbers when the stud isn't turning in the threads in the block as the nut on top is being torqued.
