Default Re-torque head nuts

I had to pull three studs due to leaking. I cleaned, resealed and installed them back in the block. The heads are still on the motor.
My question is how do I torque these down?
Should I torque them in steps? 45,50,55?
Should I torque all the head studs in sequence again? (I already did my five hot/cold cycles, five because of the supercharger and manufacturers recommendation).
Do I simply re-torque these straight up to 55 lbs?
The stud are #1, #10 and #13
Thank you, Joe
