my torque wrench is foot lb-- wont be accurate at 90 inch lb..

havent done a LS or any plastic intakes before-- do you do them hand tight or does everyone go buy a inch/ torque wrench..

im looking for a new torq wrench anyway with the angle but was hoping to not buy 2 --

for inch lb i was thinking the 20-200inch snap on regular not techangle

I picked up a cheap in-lb torque wrench from harbor freight. Cost me like $12.

Just make sure u use correct torque pattern, make a snug pass then on next pass give it alittle bit more, if I remember right I think last torque is 96in lbs, which isn't much

don't use a ft/lbs torque wrench for in/lbs tasks... you WILL eventually strip something out doing that. torque is 89 INCH LBS. you can always use your best judgment when torquing to Inch/lbs but without a lot of experience doing this you are for sure to be off on your torque. seeing as its an intake and a vacuum leak from not torquing the bolts enough will be immediately noticeable and easy to fix im sure being close is good enough... but me, im of German descent its either 100% right on or its completely wrong and unacceptable

Just follow the pattern and snug them up. I wouldnt even bother buying a new wrench.
