Lug Nut torque setting

I replaced my brake lines with russell ss lines, now I have a problem. Does anyone know the torque setting for the lug nuts? Thanks, can't find it in the owner's manual.

I guess we can all be correct today

I myself stick with 80 ft-lb, no lugs have ever come loose even when tracking or doing the 1/4 mile... and too tight just makes me nervous about snapping studs.
