10 N-m or 89 lb-in for my LS2. Should be the same for your LS3, I would guess.

Ten foot pounds is not very much torque, if you snug them up that will be close to ten pounds. I have followed this regiment for several years with no issues.

89 lb-in isn't very much torque; if you aren't using a torque wrench calibrated in lb-in, better to just snug by hand.
