Default Torque Spec Question ~ Please Relpy

Alright, we got the flywheel on but now for the clutch, after what happened with the crank we don't want to strip anything. We have to torque the clutch to the flywheel.

In the books we have its saying flywheel to drive plate 75-80 Ft Lbs. That seems like a lot fo torque for bolts that size. Is that correct or is it something else ?
