ARP head stud tourqe specs

Does anybody happen to have the tourqe specs handy for the ARP head studs? I'm reusing the same studs but seem to have misplaced the sheet that came with it. I'll be using the ARP lube. Thanks

I know it cost but you should never re-use head studs always replace them.

Our competition head studs should be torqued to 65 ft/lb using ARP lube or 85 ft/lb using 30 wt motor oil. If the head studs or main studs have been used on a running motor, they SHOULD NOT be reused. Once the studs have been torqued and stretched--as they were designed to do--they will not provide the same tensile strength once they have been used. It's no different than head gaskets, once it's been compressed, it will not offer the same seal after it has been removed.
