I always start them by hand, seat them with the impact, but final torque is using the torque wrench. I use 100lbs but that's just me...lol.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Nope... I have checked them a couple of times after I ran them on with the impact... give it a couple of rattles with the impact then checked... most of the times its within 5-10 ft lbs of the so called spec... close enough for me

I do. Drag car checked every spring and maybe once or twice during summer and street cars torqued and re-torqued after 25 miles.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I do, I torque everything suspension and brake related. It just eases my mind when I'm driving the car right after something goes back together.
I find I always over-torque the lug nuts and caliper bolts to avoid them coming lose if I don't use the torque wrench.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

every car, every wheel, every time.
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.
