Yeah I knew it was A LOT but I checked 3 times and thats what it said. I should have used common sense and knew that was too much.
I got the broken bolt out easy thank the Lord....now i just need to find one or a set to replace it! Any suggestions???

^^ does it really matter the sequence in which the bolts are tightened? I just put my intake on last weekend and I just started tightening all of them, obviously I checked and rechecked to make sure everything was tight but I didn't think that it would be a huge deal on the sequence.
Should I re-do it?

Yes, it can matter alot. Were it me, I'd loosen it all up and start over. The sequence does a couple of things. It keeps you from cracking the intake from stress due to torqueing the manifold with a front to rear twist. It also ensures that the gaskets seal properly.
