ARP head studs

I am trying to find proper torque for ARP head studs on Ecotec. The build book and other resources show a torque plus a degree of rotation but those are fro regular head bolts. Additionally, last time I tried to use an angle gauge on the head the setup had to much play in it making it less accurate than just a single torque value. Looking online I have found anything from 75 ft-lbs to 85 ft-lbs so I was thinking about aiming for 80. If anyone has any insight on this it would be much appreciated.

Edit: I found it on ZZP's website and they recommend 80 ft-lbs with ARP lube.

The studs themselves go in finger tight, then torque the nuts 80 ft lbs with ARP lube. I did mine in 3 steps, 20,50 then 80.
