Default Torque amount for a composite head gasket and ARP studs

I got a rebuilt 7MGTE motor from a local mechanic who also installed a metal head gasket along with ARP studs in the head. It runs strong however there is oil leaking in several places from the head gasket. Also, of the number 6 piston has a brown oily goo on it and it has the lowest compression at 135. I'm going to replace this metal head gasket with a Japan made Victor Reinz composite gasket using the ARP studs /lube. I was wondering how much to torque this combination. ARP recommends 90 foot pounds. That might be OK for a metal head gasket but with a composite head gasket I was considering just doing the usual 75 foot pounds with a later retorque. I found various opinions on the Internet.
