It is good practice to re-tighten connections.....but just a word of caution. If you continue to re-torque to original specifications, then over time you can flatten the wire in the connection so that any movement of the wire will cause a failure at the clamping point. I know this from experience. Of course this does not apply to lugs but only to wires in compression fittings.
My solution is to set the torque at 66% of the original torque value when re-tightening thus avoiding loose connections but not causing damage to the wire in the connection.
