My chart from the build school says 70-95 lbft but it's from 2013.

I'm not getting gray, I'm adding chrome....
“Under-steer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and over-steer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.”
-- Jacques Schnauzee "World Famous Racecar Driver"
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough horsepower."--Mark Donohue
I was thinking I got an email with revised torque values, just recently.

I received an email and updated instructions for my Coupe 2015+ IRS. Reasonable to assume the Roadster is the same. Shows the driveshaft adapter to the pinion flange is 41 ft-lbs. And driveshaft to driveshaft adapter is 70 ft-lbs. This is a reduction from the original instructions that were 80 ft-lbs. Loctite is only shown on the adapter to pinion flange. But I'd use blue on both.

I got the letter along with a package of 4 bolts about 3 weeks ago. It said to use the new longer bolts.
The bolts they sent were shorter than the ones that came with the kit. I threw the shorter bolts in my bag of "not needed" parts.
Thanks guys. Edwardb, that is what I am looking for. Thanks for the info and advise. I was considering red loctite, but think blue will do the job.
