Need trq specs quick

Hate to be that guy but need torque for intake manifold bolts and fuel rail bolts for 11 gt.

Not at house and can't view workshop manuals in iPhone

TIA

Intake
Stage 1. Tighten to 89 lb-in
Stage 2. Tighten additional 45 degrees



Fuel Rail
Stage 1. Hand Tighten
Stage 2. Tighten to 89 lb-in
Stage 3. Tighten additional 90 degrees

So, is the additional rotation new for the '11s?
89 INCH-pounds and then additional rotation is putting some stress on those small bolts; although, 45* more shouldn't be a problem. just 2 cents

Here it is in print. Additional 45 and 90.

In layman's term 89 in lb = no harder then you would twist a woman's nipple.

I have never torqued an intake. I always "snug" it down then make another pass making a 1/4 turn. Just my .02.

Thanks to all who responded so quick! Unfortunately I had to wrap up an take off. Now that I look at the specs, I definitely FAR exceeded them

89 inch = about 7.4 foot lbs? Thats like hand tight almost.Good to know.

All depends on the fastener size. It's best to always use a torque wrench. I deal with fasteners torqued in inch pounds all the time and can tell you it's more than it sounds like. 25 ft lbs. on an idler pulley feels like alot less than 35 inch pounds on a 10-32 fastener. FWIW I'd say 8 inch lbs on a #06 fastener feels about like 25 ft lbs on an idler pulley to me.

The only rule of thumb that is somewhat consistant is tight plus a little more will usually get you by. For some reason proper torque always feels tight no matter what the fastener size.
