You do not want to go over 80 ft-lbs. Per Bill Alexander, if you are installing a heavy barrel and are looking for the most accuracy, then bedding the extension makes a lot of sense.
If you are installing a lighter profile barrel that is shorter, like 18" or less and medium contour, he said he has seen no need for it (bedding). On a budget, there are a number of things you can do to drop the price down, and it's a buyer's market right now, so there are a lot of deals to be had on uppers, lowers, carriers & BCG's (5.56), LPK's, furniture, etc.
