I have looked through all my documentation and can't find anything that tells me what my Billet Specialties Street Lites should be torqued at.

I had a friend back in high school that was going down the highway 55mph pulling a trailer and evidently didn't hook it up correctly or have the chains hooked up and he said that he was just cruising along jamming some music and looked to the side and saw the trailer passing him. I still chuckle thinking about that. '70 Duster - SDSS 436 W5 4spd (Gone) '71 Dodge D100 '70 Dodge W100

That sounds about right, been torquing lugs at about 90-100lbs forever, never had a problem, it beats the tire shops that blast them on with a 400+lbs impact gun for 5 seconds a lug, without a torque stick...
