Um, maybe I missed it but while there is nice info there, I'm asking about a upper intake, not a lower.

just bolt them down to 20ftlbs, Dont worry about a pattern

A stock upper is 12-18lb-ft,so a Cobra should be in the same range as it uses 5/16" bolts also.
No torque pattern for the upper in manuals,just for the lowers.

Start in the middle and work out.Snug they down a bit by hand first then go to say 10lb-ft then 15lb-ft.Should be enough.

I use 12 lb-ft, no more and it's plenty.
