Rear hub nut tightness questions.

We all know it has to be very tight but anyone guess a figure ? I seem to remember it needing to be well over 100lb/foot ?
Also anyone use a nylock instead of a split pin ? Hole for split pin always seems to line up for me in the wrong place and I don't want to go really really tight but then slackening it slightly for split pin to fit seems a bad idea as well. Maybe I just have to file the face of the nut ?
