Default Ray's Duranut Torque?

So I've done a search and I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I purchased a set of the standard length Ray's Duranuts and I'm not sure what to torque them to. Could any members with them chime in on what they torqued them to? Thanks!

The nut doesn't determine the torque rating. The material and hardness of the stud is what is important. Toyota specs 76 ft-lbs for almost everything they make as long as you have the OEM studs. If you're using ARP or some other aftermarket studs, it will likely be different.

Having worked on aircraft, I take torque specs pretty seriously. If they ask for 76 ft-lbs, you should use 76 ft-lbs. Be very happy the guy who installed the engines on the next airplane you fly doesn't automatically assume adding 5% to the spec will be "better."
