I just read that thread today. I think you are right. I torqued mine to 95ftlbs.

80 iirc. don't forget to put the washer on top of the mount.
it's in, i torqued it to 100lbs since it was 91-110
i just did the install, used a hydraulic jack where they mentioned, it looks like a screw would go in there but there's no screw.
this was of course after lifting the car a little with the stock jack on the drivers side.we raised they hydraulic just enuf to where it raised the motor about 1" after it made contact with the jack point.
removing the bolt was easy and when we did, the motor did move maybe 1/2" towards the front of the car, no biggie. what we ended up doing was pushing down on the front of the car (making it lower in the front, rake like stance) until the hole lined up, then boom back in no problems
we used loctite (blue, did not have red)
specs i believe are 91-110lbs. started it up, did not notice any vibes, like others said it reduces the vibes the dogbone caused.
there is a lot of noise when depressing the clutch. have not driven it yet
i washed the car earlier and the tire foam will shoot all over my doors if i drive it right now
i also did the turbo inlet install, it was easy, i figured id install both at the same time since u have to take the battery and tray out for the installs.

gold star for doing both the tranny mount and tip at the same time.
one vibe i noticed after the tranny mount install - everything in the rear view mirror is blurry when coasting (foot off the gas). i love it.
