Al, check the instructions that came with the ARP studs for correct torque, or call ARP. I'm pretty sure that the torque is somewhere around 85-90 ft lbs for studs using ARP lube, compared to 110 ft lbs for bolts. I'm told the reason for the difference is that the clamp load of a stud is much greater than a bolt and does not require as much torque. The torque pattern remains the same.
