For their aluminum heads, Edelbrock recommends 25 ft-libs for intake, and for head bolts - 110 ft-lbs top row, and 100 ft-lbs bottom row.

Sequence for torquing heads is start at the middle top bolt, and then middle bottom bolt, and tighten bolts in a spiral sequence going outward, tighting bolts in several stages, like 40 ft-lbs, 60, 80, and then final settings.

you want to tignten the intake bolts on opposite ends of the intake, like tightening wheel lug nuts. Start with the middle two bolts, then do the end opposing bolts, then the intermediate bolts.
