Agreed. When I did mine I got them tight,then did a hard WOT run. If they didn't pop off I had them tight enough.

Just go nice and snug. If you clean the oil off the pipes and clamp the boots properly you won't have an issue. If you go overboard you will egg shape your tubes and then you won't get anything to hold.
