Default Lugnut torque on Draglites

What is the required lugnut torque on Draglites? 100ft/lbs still? I was thinking less for some reason....

*I did a search and found tons of dyno sheets with Rear wheel hp/tq specs.

If weld says 75, then go with 75. I have bogarts, which are even lighter and probably slightly more fragile, and I've always used 100 lb ft. Figured they would be similar, but I guess not. My apologies for the bad info.

No problem.

I bought them used on eBay and figured I would use this site for what it's worth......answers to LS1 related questions. I think I'll use the 75ft/lb figure, thanks guys

If folks aren't aware of our Bogart FAQ, please note it as there are a few good tips for our Bogart users. Your wheels, depending on your studs should be adjusted per our chart listed in the FAQ.

Hope this helps,

Steve
