Default Head Stud Torque Spec Question

I have a B20B Vtec Turbo swap. I bought ARP studs and am just wondering if I should follow the ARP torque spec with the moly lube, fire up the car, then retorque or should I drive the car for a bit then re-torque. Finally, when re-torquing, should the car be hot or cold and would the torque spec changed based on if the car is hot or cold.

in my travels i believe that arp's need to be retorqued 3 times before they are correct.

Called Arp and they said 65 fl lbs with moly lube. They told me to retorque only once after the initial install and cranking.
