@Prince - difficult to say if it's "too much" tightening in your case. You may have Popeye's forearms, the grip of a chimpanzee and the body weight of this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWxlZ52O0rI
in which case I'd say you definitely are over-tightening. You'll just have to wait for the torque wrench and then look up the pressure needed using t'internet.
