Default Torque specs for header bolts

I picked up a set of ARH Mids from a forum member. Going to install them next week. What are the torque specs. I'm assuming tightening inner to outer

Thanks

You MUST use Loctite red on the bolts or they will back out. Mine did.

I replaced them with ARP header bolts as insurance. I also installed the stock GM gaskets The ARH gaskets look like they were leaking after the bolts backed out.
