    here is what is says on an ebay listing. listing will also show you which one of the bolts need what torque spec.

    here's what is says though
    Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (1) to 7N·m (62 lb in).

    Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (2) to 7N·m (62 lb in).

    Tighten the vertical lower intake manifold bolts (1) to 13N·m (115 lb in).

    Tighten the diagonal lower intake manifold bolts (2) to 25N·m (18 lb ft).
    Planning on doing 3800 Supercharged swap soon in either my 4cyl or 6cyl.

              roxtro- where are you getting all these different specs? That gasket set should have a paper included- use the specs that come with the set. When I did the LIM job on my '01 Lumina, the specs in that new-style Felpro set were the same as Scoopy just listed a couple posts back. It's worked fine for a year and a half so far.
