I believe standard is 30 ft-lbs in intake bolts and 20 ft-lbs on exhaust.

Re: Intake and Header Torque? (Rolling Thunder)
Intake - the 30lb/ft is for iron manifold to iron heads. When I looked on the Edlebrock site all I found (last year) was 25lb/ft which is what they had for performer to aluminum heads. I doubt if 30lb/ft is going to warp the intake if you are using iron heads, however the bolt head might cut into the aluminum a little anyway.
