C5 caliper bolts torque to 125 ft lbs ???

Ok im about to install my c5 kit and i was looking at the torque spec on the install sheet.I ve found that the 14mm mounting bolt need 125lbs of torque

Is it true of maybe there is a mistype because i found 125 ft lbs is a lot?

Thank you

maybe 125 lb-in (not lb-ft).

There's no way those bolts should be torqued to 125 lb-ft.

So what would be the good spec?

It is 27 ft-lbs on LT1s, just trying to point you in the right direction.
