Carroll Smith wrote a couple of books about choosing the correct bolts and other hardware for a race car. That will have the full story. I think it's called Prepare to Win, or Design to Win, something like that.

"Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook" As all of his books it is excellent. I would expect if the bolt diameter, etc. is over designed enough you can get away with SS. It is not typically used in high strength applications. Well plated aircraft bolts do hold up reasonably well.

Carrol Smith wanted to call the book "Screw to Win", but the publisher refused to accept that title. I don't know if they're still available, but it used to be possible to get decals that said "Screw to Win" to place on your copy of "Nuts, Bolts and Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook".
