70 ft lbs is what dart reccomends..... and what i used... i even torqued them first at 20, then 40 then 70 following the sequence.

on a side note the exhaust smoking reminded me of that cheech and chong movie..up in smoke lol

Did you check for deck warpage on the block? Try a leakdown test too. That way you might be able to get away with only pulling one head.
