Sorry Jimmy, I didn't see your thread till just now.
I used to put 80 pounds on the Tom's stb with my torque wrench, but I am not sure if it is the right specs.

Top 3 nuts-41lbs
Center lock nut-21 lbs
Lower strut bolt-116 lbs
If using a STB I highly recommend using a thick washer(spacer) as those thin ones will warp easily.
I feel good at around50-55lbs.
