I would like to know also.

Also do they use the same torque patter as regular head bolts?

I'm sure a sponsor like ARE, MTI etc that installs these regularly can answer these questions in a second.

The ARP paper that came with my head studs says to torque to 70ft/lbs with molylube or 85 with 30wt motor oil. Good luck. Jimmy

Either way, it probably doesn't matter. I used 65 though.

And I followed the same torque pattern as regular head bolts.

Studs get 5ft/lbs and the nuts get 75ft/lbs with the moly lube, stock head gaskets. Checked them recently and they are all still in spec.

I recc; torque in sequence, back off and retorque to help settle gaskets. Overnight would be better.
