There will be more tension on the chain when the tensioners get oil pressure. Having said that I don't like to put much more tension on the chain than is needed to take out all the slack. If using a C-clamp I tighten until slack out then a small amount more so I have to push on the cain to get it to deflect. You're trying to simulate the conditions the car will be under when running.
