Default Clutch install questions

So my throwout bearing went up, so I ordered a King Cobra clutch kit. My question is, what are the torque specs for the clutch disk, pressure plate and transmission. Going to my buddy's work sunday to use his lift, so i wanna have all the info I need.

The KC kit comes with the self centering design which is sort of offset. The tech bulletin says you must use this type of design or it will make an awful noise. I believe the TOB that comes in the kit has an E7Z part number so it would seem it is factory. There shoudn't be any issues with it as long as the fork is good.

I think the flywheel to crank is 75-85, the pressure plate is like 12-24. Look up the clutch on summitracing.com and look at the tech bulletin at the bottom of the page.

When i pushed the clutch in it started with a whine, then by the time i got home it sound like someone raping a cat. Didn't completely go out, but it's close
