Ford 9" rear end, TORQUE Specs?

[firstgear]

I called Jim Myer racing and asked what torque specifications I should use for the carrier to the pumpkin nuts that attach to the carrier bolts......they told me "nice and tight"....when I asked how much that was, he said, nice and tight...ha-ha....so anyone got an idea of what torque I should use?

The bolts on the carrier are 3/8-24, and according to Greg should be grade 8...anyone got a good idea of what the torque should be?
