Wheel lug nut torque specs

Can someone help out a C3 guy? I'm running C5Z06 wheels on my '69 during track days. What's the factory torque spec for the lug nuts? Did a quick search, but nothing popped up quick.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. I was torqueing the wheels down earlier today (@94#, as that was what the group organizing this weekends track activities stated on their vehicle safety checklist), and one of the lug nuts wouldn't stop turning. At first I thought that I had a stud that was yielding, but when I took the wheel off it looks like the (factory) lug nut sits lower in that wheel hole bevel compared to the other four holes. So, I'm thankful that I didn't over-torque the lug nuts, but I'm still trying to figure out if the issue is the stud or the wheel hole/bevel.

Thanks again.
