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.

Actually, the correct torque is better than the incorrect torque. The size of the socket is irrelevant. If your spline adapter is not offset from the axis of rotation of the wrench, the set torque is the actual torque, unless your wrench is fubar.
