Default Sway bar installation - torque setting

If I am installing new Z06 sway bars on my 08 vert.

What do i need to set my torque wrench to? How many lbs?

I thought I saw somewhere it was in the 40lb range, but that doesn't seem right.

Here you go! Thanks to member David Farmer!

BTW, the short answer for the rubber clamps is in the front 43 ft.lbs. In the rear, the nut is 70 ft.lbs. and the bolt is 49 ft.lbs. The link nuts are all 53 ft.lbs.
