Scott is right on this. The units for torque whether in in-lbs or ft-lbs is a measure for using the mechanical advantage of a lever(wrench in this case)to acheive rotational force or "torque". 1 ft-lb simply means you apply 1 Lb of force at the end of a lever 1 foot in length from the center of rotation (the nut)The same torque would be applied if you applied 12lbs of force on a 1 inch lever. So to answer your questions 200 in-lbs is like applying 16.67 lbs of force on the end of a 12" wrench and that seems reasonably tight!!
