Does any of you.guys know the torque specs on Falicon knife rods for a Busa? Trying to help a local guy

Step 1 - Falicon rods may be installed in either direction. Install the rod assembly onto the crankshaft. Using caution, orient the cap and rod serial numbers and align the cap with the location dowels. Tap the cap into place with a soft mallet. Do not use the bolts to pull the cap into position! Apply additional ARP lubricant to the bolt threads and under the bolt head. Install the bolts and tighten until snug.

Step 2 - Place shim stock between the rod and crankshaft thrust faces. This will help support the rod cap and prevent distortion in the rod housing bore during the final tightening process. (If you have not cycled the bolts in the rods, this is your last opportunity. See rod assembly bread-in procedure.) Tighten each bolt in 5 foot-pound increments to 20 foot-pounds (240 inch-pounds). Do not stop here - the bolts are NOT tight!

Step 3 - Final tightening procedure using the preferred bolt-stretch method. Seat the pointed ends of the stretch gage into the bolt dimples. Adjust the gauge so that it has approximately 0.040" (1mm) preload. Align the needle to "0" and tighten each bolt until the prescribed stretch is achieved.

Also if they are new bolts 40 to 42  ftlbs with grease on them

If they say ARP 625 on them, torque them to ~40-42 ft-lbs.

By "Old Bolts" Werx was referring to old style bolts, not "used"
