Default Intake bolt re-torque ?

After recently installing and putting some miles on my new ls6 intake i decided to recheck the bolt torque. While retorquing in sequence i found that some of the bolts where a lot looser then others. Is this normal? for example the # 8 bolt in sequence seemed to take a full rotation or more before torquing while most of the others would click before 1/4 of a turn. has anyone else ran into anything like this? seems odd to me that a few bolts would be loose and others still snug.

It can happen. Did you do the 2-3 passes when first installing it?
