tourqe specs

[cuda360]

i got a airgap intake just wondering what the tourqe specs are ......

35 ft/lb should be safe. It usually is dictated by the fastener size. 3/8-16 can be up to 50 ft/lb on a B/RB intake.

According to the instruction sheet that came with mine, proper torque is 25 ft. lbs., and you tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern starting in the center and working out toward the ends.

B/RB is 40 ft-lbs
A is 35 ft-lbs

Torque is not only dictated by fastener size but by the material being torqued. For example, typically aluminum heads are about 10lbs less than iron due to expansion.

Exactly right, hedgehog. Cuda360, DO NOT tighten that manifold to 35. You will risk warping the mounting surface. Trust me, I made a trip out to the garage last night just to get the instruction sheet so I was sure I was giving you the correct information.
