140 kgf sounds pretty high to me. I'd try to take it down to 120 kgf tops, 110 would be better.

Non-drive side tension will be what it needs to be to get the dish straight. (That's why some people use linseed oil on NDS spoke threads, they'll often be too slack for tension alone to keep the nipples from rotating.) IIRC my rear wheels run about 115+/-10 DS and 60-70 NDS.
