How tight can you do V-Band Clamps?? I'm scared of breaking them, but want to make sure they are tight enough!!

I figured you would know Steve as I would imagine the Skyline boys use them.

Christian they are very robust think more about the potential damage to the Flange etc your mating together as a result of over tightning.
