installing ARP head studs
I am installing ARP head studs and I need to know the torque specifications and sequence to tighten them. I did a search and couldn't find anything. Please help!

The last set of arp head studs I had told me 100ft/lbs w/their lube.
use the stock sequence and the more steps you do the better in general. start with about 15ft/lbs and them make sure the head is seated all the way around. I fix alot of cars with crushed dowel pins in the head b/c people started cranking the head bolts down and the head wasnt all the way on the block/dowels.

This is the right torque specs when using ARP Lube. (30-60-95)
There can be other specs with other lubricants as they all have different properties. See this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgwmuZuJ02I
The sequence is just per the book. Start in the middle and criss/cross your way to the outside. Repeating the steps 3 times until you achieve 95ftlbs!
