Default Water Pump question?

Hey guys I am replacing my Water pump on my Daily Driver (94 Camaro Z28) and was just wondering what the Torque specs are when reinstalling the new pump? Thanks for the help in advance.

a word of advice...
be very careful when you take the pump out, most likely it will leak, and the opti is sitting right underneath it. be very careful if the opti gets wet you might as well go buy another one.

Since we are talking about water pumps, how much gain could would you see from going with an electric pump?
