Replace them all with quality bolts. For you to snap one off at 15 ft/lbs means the bolt is either defective or had
really been torqued down hard by someone else. Either way you want to swap out that set.
Edit -- here are the PDF installation instructions for 2 Victor IMs, Ford and Chevy. Ford calling for 16-18 ft/lbs and Chevy calling for 25 ft/lbs. FWIW, I have my Blue Thunder on the FE torqued to 30 ft/lbs.
