educate me on Torque to yield bolts please

Guys,

I need to know more about TTY bolts that came with my recent new GM 6 pot Brembo rotor and caliper upgrade for my 2SS.
The caliper bolts are thread loctited and supposed to be TTY torqued to 111 ft/lb plus 15-30 degrees of more turn according to the instructions.
The install went ok but I think I over torqued to somewhere like 160 ft/lb due to problems getting angles of dangle working off a garage floor with the car in the air.
Now I have seen that torque spec used on C7 corvette applications that use the same bolt (11611085) but my question is have I over stressed anything else and/or could something break or strip out on the caliper for instance.
Also would the bolt just stretch a little bit more to absorb that torque and alls cooool?

These things really confuse the hell out of me and that install was a PITA cos of those bolts!
Please help me guys and put my mind at rest..im all ears.

cheers
