Default header bolt torque

Sure this has been asked too many times, but refresh my memory. What's the correct torque the header bolts to the heads should be torqued to? (LS1) Thanks,
Jason

Stock bolt torque shows 18 ft/lbs on final pass, http://www.ls1.com/enginetorques.htm#Application , don't forget to use Anti-Seize on the threads of the bolts.

Anti-Seize? I thought red lock-tite was used to secure the bolts. Any opinions here?

Loctite works pretty well as an anti-sieze if you coat all the threads. I used blue loctite, have had no issues at all.
