lower oil pan bolt bolt torque spec

After an unfortunate situation during my clutch replacement, my lower oil pan is pushed in in the center by a good inch or so (bottle jack, wood that split apart, nuff said on that). Anyway, I am going to pull the pan and attempt to flatten it again.. I bought a Felpro (cork?) gasket for it from Advance Auto parts, but now I see the FSM shows using a liquid gasket... Any thoughts on what the torque spec on the bolts should be if I use the felpro gasket? I am not sure if the FSM torque specs would be ok given that they reference use of a liquid gasket...

If you choose to use the cork gasket, you should still torque to factory specs. 56-66 in.*lb
