Head studs and other Q's for GN1s

[TType85]

What ARP head studs do I need for 14-bolt GN1's on a 8-bolt block?

Whats the torque specs and sequence for the GN1's?

What plugs are the best to use AC CR42LTS? How about NGK's?

Also, what head gaskets?

I was looking at the RJC steel shim setup.

Jack C says to stay with stock gaskets and he also told me to torque em to 85# instead of the 75# on the top bolts, 65# on the bottom bolts like the instructions say. DO NOT USE FEL PRO 1000s!!!!!!!

I've got to agree with Russ. I blew 3 head gaskets using the felpro's with the GN1's. Jack Cotton told me to use the stock HG's and haven't blown one since (with more boost and knock 'experiences'). I went to 85 ft-lbs on the studs and 75 on the lower ones (once again per some discussions with Jack). It's worked flawlessly. As for which studs, I'm pretty sure they are listed in most of the vendor catalogs, and if you get them from a TR vendor, they'll know exactly which ones. I have the box at home with the part number, but I'm at work right now. You can also do a search on here, as it's been listed before.
