Default traction bars install question

ive had a set for months now and havent bothered to put them on the car. headed to the track tomorrow and decided to see if they help me get into the 10's car ran 11.01@129 so fat with no traction bars on stock suspension with egay coils.

questions are
how tight do you need to tighten them?
also do i wanna pull the wheels towards the front of the car or push them away from the front of the car?

no mayhem for us, we need to stay on slicks. we finally got the boost by gear somewhat setup, so now we are going to go tune it and hopefully get some good numbers out of it. put fresh axles, finally got the Spec clutch working. time to turn it up and see what happens.
