Question Torque spec for Lunati Pro Mod rod bolts?

Anybody used them without using the "bolt stretch" method that requires a $50 special tool? Apparently they don't give a torque spec, because I haven't been able to find one in any documentation or on their website. I did a search and only found a two year old thread where a couple of folks went with 73 ft/lbs. Surely somebody has used them since then. Anybody have a torque spec using moly lube?

I installed a set on a customers car two days ago. I didn't use a stretch gauge, but instead, used a 1-2" mic on the bolts that I could access. I then took not of the torque reading it took to get them to .0058 stretch. Some needed 80 lbs, while other needed 75. Very easy doing it that way.
