Made that mistake once with some exhaust system studs. The anti-seize dramatically reduces assembly torque to get same bolt tension. Snapped off some exhaust hanger studs that way by accident by over-tightening with anti-seize on the threads. Basically graphite in a grease carrier paste.

Yep, Torque specs listed are for dry threads, if you apply anti seize you need to reduce torque by 15-20%.
