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

You follow the same sequence as the GM manual, but depending on what lube you use (required for the ARP bolts) the actual torque spec varies. ARP recommends using their own moly lube for more accurate torque reading compared to using engine oil. ARP includes the torque values with the bolts, but you can call their tech line also. I used the ARP lube which worked fine.

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.
