Don't forget to re-torque the intake manifold bolts after the intake has been installed for a few hours. Many times the intake gaskets will take a set and the bolt torque will loosen.
If you don't do this, you may end up chasing vacuum leak gremlins down the road. I re-torque mine several times until all the bolts hold the torque setting.
I use 35 ft/lbs.
