[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 16040643, member: 9703"] I think a lot of you are confusing [U]torque[/U] with [U]tight[/U]. The S550 has very large studs. Those studs have more surface area and thus create more friction. 150lb on these studs would be about the same "[i][U]Tightness[/U][/i]" as 100lbs on a 12mm stud with the same thread pitch. It is all about how tight something is. And this is why, with more lugs, you need less torque. You can create the same amount of clamping force with less torque per lug,. by increasing the amount of lugs. Torque to yield nuts/bolts is a bit of both. It is about getting things tight and applying enough torque to create stretch in the fastener. [/QUOTE]
