According to the Trick Flow instructions, the long bolts are supposed to be torqued down an extra 10 ft/lbs. I just wanted to confirm that this is true.

Also, I didn't do this initially. I sequence torqued all of them to 70. If I need to add 10 to the long bolts and the engine has been sitting for a day, can I "safely" do this?

Rick, IIRC, doesn't it have something to do with the uneven force the intake manifold will cause on the cylinder head? I remember doing that on my T-dubbs, just trying to remember why.
