TSE BBK Bracket Torque

TSE BBK Bracket Torque
TSE says factory spec on these brackets(36-51 ft/lb), they are using std 3/8 hardware and the bracket doesn't have a steel insert.
Assuming they are 6061-T6 I am finding the suggested torque with .500" of thread engagement to be 24 ft/lb with a max torque of 32ft/lb.
What are you guys torquing your bracket bolts to? You guys using loctite on the bolts?
Calculator is here:FUTEK Bolt Torque Calculator | Bolt Torque Calculators

That being said, I run your kit and am by no means worried...it just would be a nice little extra.

I am just saying I don't to lay down 50ft/lb on the bracket and rip out the alum threads.
I was hoping to get some, "I run 275 hoosiers and XP20's, torque to 50ft lb, car weighs 2500, had my BBK for 2 yrs, had the brackets off 8 times, and no issues" type responses.

You realize an insert would increase the thread torque rating right(larger ID on the alum would increase the surface area)?
