I used the torque spec from the C6 Z06. Should have the same plug.

oops, just looked in the book, 15 lb ft for new heads, 11 lb ft there after. I just snug them with a 3/8" drive ratchet

10-4 on the anti-seize

Proper torque is also essential to proper heat dissipation.

The 11 ft lbs is correct on existing heads. 15 on new.
