325 inches-pounds

Explanation:

Tightening technique guide suggests that;

4/0 kcmil - --requires---→250 in-pounds tightening torque with 500 split-bolt

250kcmil - --requires---→325 in-pounds tightening torque with 650 split-bolt

300kcmil - --requires---→325 in-pounds tightening torque with 650 split-bolt

350kcmil - --requires---→325 in-pounds tightening torque with 650 split-bolt

400kcmil - --requires---→325 in-pounds tightening torque with 825 split-bolt
