For all we know, they're going on at 45 or 145 ft-lbs. :-)
I can tell you from personal testing that torque wrenchs take a lot to go out of calibration. Greg had a craftsman one that literally didnt even click anymore when you hit the torque, it would just bend a bit that was 1 lb off from his $400 snap on digital wrench.

I love the torque stick. It gets everything close enough for me

I didn't know they were so robust. that rocks!

I couldn't use my torque stick because it wouldn't fit my lug key...so sad.

doesn't fit the exploders lugs either.

125 on pump is awesome! Good job! Time to cage that beast!

nice turn out last night, Paul had his hands full against the SVT lol, all over the road in snows, cant wait to see it on hoosiers!!! I'll post up some pics later tonight..

Turco can you check my map this weekend, maybe at fastrac...last night I was going to 2-step it at a light, and it just revved to like 7K.....no step, so I dont know if it was disabled or something........maybe I was rolling a tad...really didnt think I was though...I'll have to try it again tonight...
