Torque specs for Brodix heads

Bolting on a set of Track 1's and I need to know the torque specs. I'm using ARP head bolts and it is for a small block. The cast iron heads use a torque of 65 ft lbs but the aluminum heads require a different setting. Any and all help is greatly apprreciated.
Thanks.

same as cast iron but make sure you use washers with oil under the bolt heads. if you use a different torque spec the cly wall distortion will be different that what was used to hone the bores. :chevy

Did you check the Brody web page. My buddy did unequal torque on a set of A heads. But I don't remember why. It seems to me that it was 10 higher around the cylinder bores.

i torqued mine to 70 with permatex 2 on the threads. If you use the ARP stuff the reqired torque is less, but i don't remember the specifics.

Go to the ARP website and look up the torque specs if you are using their bolts. They have it for your heads.
