i understand, but...

when you're doing what i do -- driving italian sedans faster than even the
speed crazed italian engineers intended them to go, at higher side loadings
than the engineers planned for -- then you tend to want to watch the
mechanical loads pretty carefully. over torquing can be every bit as bad as
under torquing once you start pulling a lot of lateral g's.

that's not really an IHC sort of problem, though.
