I thought it was 65lbs in a star. Then 75lbs in a star. I guess I need 5 more pounds

That's sort of how I do it. I tighten them by hand first using the socket, then cinch them down with the ratchet (but not reaching 80 lb-ft), then tighten them till they just hit 80, then run through them again just to make sure. Yes, they're tightened in a star pattern.
