I dont think they were tq'd to 90 ft lbs. It seemed fairly easy to loosen them today. Maybe I'm just that strong lol. But some probably has to do with a little aggressive timing. On the dyno it was fine but on the streets was a whole different story
Damn you didn't waste any time ripping it apart like JoeyBalls did
Looks like you found your problem, would have been interesting if you tried to tighten the studs with your torque wrench at 90ft/lbs before you removed it to see how loose they actually were...

there was a rather large thread a while ago were i actually took the time to call and get specs based on psi strength, stud diameter, etc, and came to the 100% clear consensus that per ARP's instructions, the torque of our ARP 195,000 studs is 80ftlbs.
search and dig it up if you dont believe me. Spoolin was in there, he knows.
