I did 100 because I have to use a spline adapter for my lug nuts that doesn't directly snap onto the torque wrench, rather it has to be torqued by a 3/4" socket, so I figured that the actual torque would be lesser than the amount inputted on the torque wrench, so I tried to account for that. Not sure how accurate this is, but I figured a little bit snugger is better than a little looser - plus I'm pretty sure most crappy shops just air wrench them on way past 89 ft/lbs.
