What's the correct torque to use? And should I use any blue or mild Loctite or is it anti-seize on these things? Sorry for the dumb question...

I use the Permatex anti seize stuff on my header bolts going into my aluminum heads. [img]http://www.imgur.com/hxlGUJt.gif[/img] 4-speed 3:54 Dana 13.01 @107.93 with street tires (not hooking up)
