thank you. Would it hurt to increase to 80 or even 90 lbs?

I do 80 with ARP bolts and 90 with ARP studs.
Also depends on what lube you use.

Sounds good, I have heard of folks using loctite but I use RTV on the lowers (windsor) and just ARP lube on the uppers.

+1
Stay away from Loctite on those, it won't seal the threads. Stick with RTV.

Thanks guys, I trust your judgement and experience, but Edelbrock recommends using Loctite. Is RTV still the way to go?

RTV on the lowers brother.
Loctite 598, which is RTV.
ARP recommends RTV on anything that hits water and ARP lube on those that don't.
Never use RTV and Lube on the same bolt/stud.
