I have 2 different ranges and was wondering what it should be. Chiltons guide says 12-18ft lbs. Tmoss says no more than 10-12ft lbs. I was just wondering what you all think? Im also installing a 1/2 in intake spacer. Thanks

I know the lower is 22-24..i think the last time i went 18 on the upper....week later I checked it, and they were in need of TQing again, that was going 18...
I'd say 18-20 should do....Some people have broke those lower ears, reefing on em...
I did mine in 3 TQs steps....5 / 12 / 20 or something like that should suffice...

I did mine in four steps-10, 15, 20 and 25. I ran 18 the last time and it with boost I blew out the rear lower intake seal.
