Default FAST LSX Bolting Torque

My FAST LSX instructions have been lost (by me) and my FAST 90 intake manifold is loose - finger tight bolts. I wanted to torque the bolts back down and my Helms manual says 44lbft on first pass and 89lbft on second pass for the OEM intake. That seems high for the FAST so I was wondering if anyone else has torque numbers for the 10 intake bolts connecting the manifold to the engine?

Thanks for your time.

Please don't tighten your intake manifold bolts to 89 ft/lb .
