I would contact ARP and ask what their recommendation is.

well i have read in many post saying you must lock tight. I had a friends come apart because he didnt use lock tight, But on the packaging it said use lube but that just doesn't sound right for thise case.

Anything involving a clutch I always opt for loctite, regardless of recommendation. I'm sure the lube would provide a more accurate torque reading, but I'd rather not have it back out.
