I assume you're talking about the torx screws? I read online that the spec is 7-10 N-m. I tightened mine to 75 in-lb which is right in the middle of that spec. It's such a small screw that you should get a 1/4" drive torque wrench that reads in in-lb. Anything that reads in ft-lb won't be accurate enough.
Be careful if you're torquing the big nut on the bottom. I believe the spec on that one was fairly low. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it was basically hand tight.
