Head bolt torque specs?

OK, there's a few different specs for LT1 head bolt torque.
I'm using factory casting aluminum heads, LT1 block, Cometic MLS gaskets, and ARP "Pro Series" head bolts with ARP sealant and lube. What is the best torque to set these things at?

Thanks,
Frank

I torque those to 75 with permatex #2 sealant. ARP spec's 72 with their lube...

Very handy, I have a copy taped to the inside of the cover of my tool box.
