fstb torque

Hey guys,
baught a fstb awhile back..i have the bolts torqued at 37lbs. Just wondering what others have it on..I'm thinking about bumping it up to 45 lbs..but is it really gonna make a difference?

looking for some opinions/recommendations..

I suggest keeping it within spec. You won't gain anything by tightening it more except perhaps possibly stripping the nut, or worse, have it break on you.

Then again, there's not much diff between 37 and 45 (38 is the max spec.)
