Yep, or about 9 lb-ft. If you purchased a ported TB, those specs should come with it.

Nata,

Yeah it's about 9 ft lbs.

I send that out with the TB's when I ship them, but that was a while ago for you.

You really need to use an inch lb torque wrench, because if you use a ft lb wrench 9 ft lbs is near the bottom of the scale and torque wrenches can give inaccurate readings at those levels.
