That's what the chart on the box that the bolts came in and the ARP catalog states. It actually said "recommended torque to achieve optimum preload (clamping force) using ARP Moly assembly lubrication or 30wt oil". I'm sure the bolts could be taken to 100 ft lbs but is it necessary if the optimum preload is achieved at 88 ft lb?
