Default ARP head stud torque spec opinions.

I am getting ready to torque my 4 bolt heads down on my iron 6.0 using a set of 04+ ARP 234-4317 equal length head studs. I have seen a lot of different ideas on what to torque these to. Can some people chime in with what specs you are using and why?

I plan on boosting this thing up to 25 pounds and I'm using LS9 head gaskets.

What he said, did mine the same. If it's wrong, then we all go down together

I have always gone ~90 lbs with the ARP lube and been ok. Went 80 lbs a few years ago on my truck and it pushed a little water after 20 psi. Changed gaskets and went 90 lbs and has not pushed since... Had Nova at 90 lbs and it never had a problem either.
