Particularly for oil drain plugs with crush washers... When tightening them with a regular wrench I have gotten to the point where I thought I might be beginning to strip it (where it starts to turn slightly easier again, thinking I'm on the edge of stripping it), but after using a properly set torque wrench I realize that change in feel is the crush washer properly "crushing and sealing"... Just for reference with your 88 ft/lbs for the TB bolts... Most regular cars specify 80 ft/lbs for the lug nuts on the wheels! (I know Camaro is 120 ft/lbs)... Those poor little TB bolts! Glad you were able to easily recover and not do any other damage... Coulda happen to any of us!

Torque for those 4 bolts is 88 IN-lbs (which is approx 9 ft-lbs), not 88 FT-lbs. 
I didn't even make it to 88 before something snapped. Incredibly lucky for me, it was the bolt and not the mount.
