Default Spark plug torque?

Can anyone tell me what to torque the plugs to?

At the last minute I decided to go to the ARE dyno day in Toronto (Saturday), and I want to put the plugs in before the trip. I've got 50,000 miles on the stock ones, and hear that they sometimes lose the platinum pucks.

I'm putting in NGK TR55's, gapped at 0.055".

Thanks,
Miles.

Under the ENGINE heading, scroll down to Spark Plugs. You'll need Acrobat Reader.
