Jim, that is easier said than done. At 125 ft pounds I had at least 1/3 space to move until the next slot. When, at least for me, I was at 125 it takes considerable increases to move much. I think I would have been up to 140 +/- to get there. I purchased three new nuts and one of them lined up at 100 and I left it there.
