Now, putting a dab of assembly lube on the inside head of the bolt where it contacts the flywheel and the pressure plate,is definitely a good idea for proper torqueing. But you certainly do not want that on the threads.

The ARP lube is used on a wide variety of fasteners, like head bolts/studs, crank carrier bolts, etc. to get optimum torque readings and clamping loads. If you go to the ARP website, they have a very interesting "white paper" comparing clamping loads, and actual vs indicated torque readings both with and without the use of fastener lubricants.
