At 90 degrees nothing changes.
If you can't access the nut at 90 degrees then use a calculator like this:

I socked the nut down another 1/2 turn and it felt like it snugged up more. Finally took the truck for a spin and boy howdy did that 5 degrees make a difference. It accelerates much faster right up to 3500rpm and seems to run cooler. Temp gauge didnt heat up as much and cooled down faster than it used to. Slight smoke on cold start up but none when driving, probably need to adjust the pump fuel screws a bit.

The people who do this have too much time on their hands.

A friend of mine was an auto. mechanic all his life.
I had him help me change the timing belt on my Pathfinder.
I asked if he needed me to get out my torque wrench.
He said that he only uses them on 2 things. Heads and wheel lug nuts.
