This an ABF?
Haynes book of lies says:
Inlet Manifold Retaining Bolts 25nm or 18 lbf ft

I wrecked a lower inlet manifold over tightening a couple of the bolts, caused a lot of grief with the ISV not being able to compensate for the leaking un-metered air. Consider using gasket sealant too as a fail safe.
