"Using Antiseize on Threads. [Editor] Torque settings are always (except on bicycles) specified "dry": no lube. The few exceptions include head bolts. Antiseize, beneficial though it may be, is still a lubricant and as a result you have to adjust the torque spec DOWN by between thirty and forty percent when using antiseize. This is not universal, just a rule of thumb, and will vary by fastener and material. It is especially important for threads inserted into in soft materials, as with spark plugs and manifold studs."

From the FAQ

I had a much of morons at NTB overtighten all my lug nuts when I had a new tire put on to the point that I needed a 3 foot pipe over my wrench to get the things off. Then to my horrorIi found that they completly stripped one of them putting it on. Idiots and impact wrenches do not mix well.
