Message	Thank you for the great explanation and research. I have questions..................... You stated to not torque the Ramey's to spec for fear of exceeding their YTS. 1) What YTS value is met when torquing to maximum factory spec? 2) Can that be measured? 3) Just wondering when torquing to max factory spec, how close are we to reaching the max YTS value of the Ramey stud? 70%, 80%, 90% or even higher??? thanks, Vinnie
