I am changing to studs and wanted to know if they should be torqued to the same specs that i had the bolts at?
 
I believe it's the same. In theory, the bolts would be a bit higher because of stretch and you're going into the sealant goop which wouldn't be as slick. I used the same torque values and you know the phenomomal success I've had.

Of course all the experts are always telling me I can't do that.

EDIT:

Did you send Lance your names for the gig at Toots yet?
 
The same but you need to break them loose and re torque them after they have set over night I think and then again after a couple of heat cycles a real pain in the ass. should have come with instructions. Evan
