Do not go more than 5-10 lbs high. Oil your threads, and oil where bolt touches head, or washer, no fancy arp or assembly lube. Since you claim to be an overthinker I will make it worse on with SBM. I have seen a 340, track champion 4 years running never able to hold a headgasket again after switching from bolts to arp studs and overtorqing. Stock blocks have thin decks. For your application no reason to go to far on the overtorque. Once you upset that deck motor is done.
