I just put on a Weiand Stealth and they spec'd it at 30ft/lb w/SS ARP bolts.

I use a a torq wrench on the ones I can then take a 3/8 box end with a pipe slipped over it and put it on one bolt I used the torq wrench on and move it every so slightly then try and use that feel on the ones I cannot get the torq wrench on, not the most accurate but I figure it is better then nothing. BTW Using the pipe as a breaker bar ext with the small wrench allows a much better fell then just using the box end wrench itself.
