Tonight I was installing the head back on the rampage while torquing the head on bolt did get tight like the rest and the stud is steched very bad,why would this happen at 75 ft/lbs.

What were you using to torque them with? Oil or the ARP lube?
did the 75 feel like all the others?
yes and yes
Did you clean all the fluid and crap out of the holes? Did you make sure the studs aren't bottomed out, if they are, you will get the stretchy feeling. I tighten them down, then back out 2 turns, then hold the stud while snugging the nut, then its safe to torque.

I had that happen to mine once. I felt it stretching and stopped. I took it out and cleaned the hole, put it back in and it was fine afterwards.
