soooo...

getting back on track, are we all in agreement?
110ft/lbs using just oil as the lube?

Just don't fool yourself into thinking that's any different than less torque with the correct ARP moly lube. Be very careful with torque numbers & different lubes, some poor guy is going to read this & go torque his arp's to 110ft/lbs with the arp lube & break something. Using oil as a lube you should reduce bolt torque specs for a dry connection by 15-25%. Using a moly based lube (arp stuff) torque should be reduced by 50%. So adding 25% to the stock arp with moly lube recommendation & using motor oil makes no difference to the clamping force.
