How tight should I go with just 30w motor oil? The back of the box says I should be in the high 70's but curious if anyone else has done it w/o their moly lube.

I checked around and nobody around here carries the ARP moly lube(gave me the 'deer in the headlights look' and said they have regular engine assy lube) and the instructions with the ARP bolts say to use only their brand lube, and if you can't get their brand lube to use 30w oil but to a higher torq rating. I don't want to have problems from not following their instructions and I want to bolt these heads on tomorrow, not a week from now by the time the lube gets here if I order it online.
