ARP head bolts..
with head bolts i believe that you are supposed to start at the center-most bolt and work your way out in a circular pattern.
i don't know what the torque specs are, but when you find out just make sure that you tighten them down about half torque the first time, and then on your second pass torque them down to the specs

ARP's are different though... the pattern is different and the order is different from what i have heard??
LostCauseZO6 the patter is the same if you want it to work right. You are still bolting down the same head to the block. If you do not follow the GM way you most likly will have a uneven load on the head resulting in a gasket blow out. All he needs to do is the the TQ specs for ARP for the head bolts not the head studes as in www.blackcamaro. Unless he ment head studes but he did say head bolts.
