does anyone else with a street/track heat have problems with torqueing down two of the upper bolts because a socket cant f(*&#$n fit on it because of the poor design. How does everyone else do it?

You don't need to torque upper manifolds anyway.

If you feel its a poor design, why don't you put a stock manifold back on since you can torque the bolts. Horsepower is over rated, its all about torquing bolts

i took those two long bolts out, put them in a vise and cut a notch in the top so i could tighten and loosen them with a big flat head screwdriver.

ohhh it all makes sense now. You think torqueing the throttle cable bracket bolts to 12 lbs will net me anything ??
