Default ARP crank bolt torque specs?

I have a new ARP crank bolt coming from Thunder Racing and I was wondering what the torque specs are? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Thanks
Adam

ARP recommends to use the stock torque spec even though its not a torque to yield bolt.

we use the old bolt for the first round of 240 to seat it then take the old bolt out and do the 37ftlbs if that is the right number then it tells you a aditional 120 degrees past that right. i just didnt remember that second number.
