Except that that's miles beyond ARP's rating and most likely beyond their yield capacity... No, stretched out head bolts aren't going to do anything except possibly warp the head (which isn't very beefy, I'm pretty sure I've posted pictures of a cross cut head before). You've got a load of reading and studying to do.
For the record, the torque for head bolts (ARP orToyota) should not exceed 75ft lbs (when properly lubricated with a good moly grease and the threads in the block properly chased) and studs no more than 95ft lbs. At this level there is still elasticity in the fastener and there will naturally be a small safety margin (both of which I suspect you're past)... They're made this way for a reason.
