Yeah. Really freaking tight. As tight as you can get them without stripping. And once you reach that point, tighten them some more.

Run it hard and then retighten them while its good and hot. Try to tighten them also while it's cold, they shrink soem then.

I have some extra clamps from another stock (all metal!) intercooler I purchased from an individual. Any drawbacks to double clamping?
