I just got a Trick Flow phenolic 1" spacer for the stock intake but it didn't come with any literature. What do I torque too now? Thanx

The same as stock. Which is 24 ft. lbs (First 12, then go to 24) for the lower intake and 12-18 lbs. for the bolts on the upper intake. Don't overtighten. Make sure you use the proper torque pattern.
