i wouldn't even worry about it, just snug it up. don't get it retardedly tight, don't leave it loose, and get them pretty even...like hold the ratchet right at the extension or socket if you're not using an extension, and only use wrist action to get it as tight as you can...which isn't very tight, but enough. i know alot of people worry about torque though. to each his own, but i never have problems on any car i work on, including the stang...when i don't torque the intakes on with a torque wrench. just snug them from inside out.
