Default Torque spec for headers?

Just want to make sure I'm not gonna screw anything up. What should I torque the header bolts down to. Also, any tips for installing Macs with ORY?

I can’t remember the sequence, but I know it was 11ft-lbs on the first pass and 18ft-lbs on the second (and final) pass.

here is the detail
http://ls1info.com/article.php?sid=117

a.Tighten the exhaust manifold bolts a first pass to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).
Tighten the exhaust manifold bolts beginning with the center two bolts. Alternate from
side-to-side, and work toward the outside bolts.
b.Tighten the exhaust manifold bolts a final pass to 25 N·m (18 lb ft). Tighten
the exhaust manifold bolts beginning with the center two bolts. Alternate from
side-to-side, and work toward the outside bolts.

Take off the air pipes, EGR, coils and valve covers and they will go in smoothly from the top.
