As long as you only every nip the screws up, with threadlock, thats all you need to do.

I have found with other cars that if you tighten them up too far you actually pot pressure on the gearbox and it is not as free as it should be. The same with the TRF201

Randy what do you say that we go race with this fella?

I think he will be suprised by the 201(and the fact that he will be looking at a CAUTION HOT MOTOR STICKER from behind HAHA!) the 201 is Dialed, and compared to a B4.1 its light years ahead
