Default ls6 head torque question please help !!!!!

ok so im in the middle of putting my heads on and i torqued them to 22ft then went around and did the 90 degree on them then i kinda confused myself on where i left off because i snapped an adapter so i went to purchase a new one and i forgot where i left off when i returned !!!!! so my roommate has a camaro as well and i tested his head bolt and it was at 80-85 ft lb and i rotated my #1 bolt to 90 degrees a second time and it was around the same torque do you guys think ill be fine at that spec since its was checked by to different ways ?????

That should be close, but you probably should be asking right about now, why did I not go with ARP's? ARP's go 25,50,75ft/lb and are reusable!
