in the words of Chris Tucker:
HELLLLLLL NO!!!!!
The object is snug the plugs in so they don't get loose and back out, not strip the 4 threads.

I was told 35LB FT. I think what NGK says(17LB FT) is a little on the light side.

On their website they say 7.2~14.5 for our plug/head combo:

EDIT: also Denso's site says roughly the same:

That's the GOOD stuff. I've used it for years on the plugs, wheel studs, back of wheels, exhaust bolts, etc.
Lubro Moly Anti-Seize
With the extended service interval of today's vehicles. The idea of breaking or damaging the spark plug threads in the cylinder head are every mechanics nightmare. Lubro-Moly anti seize is a product developed especially for vehicles with aluminum cylinder heads. This copper based lubricant resists high temperatures and places a barrier between the steel spark plug threads and the aluminum cylinder head. This barrier makes for easy removal. Also recommended for exhaust component assembly and oxygen sensors.
