Yeah, I believe you have to over compensate on them (I did a couple of pounds since I had two reducers on them). I didn't need to use a suvial on the gp's or injectors. The only thing I needed them on was the valve cover bolts.
What kind of sucked is that I only have 1/2" drive torque wrench. Got the job done. She runs like a dream now... puts out some good smoke too even without a tuner.
It's a shame, that plasma cutter doesn't see too much anymore. Neither does the ol gas torch for that matter. Haven't had anything really break down yet. (Knock on wood as we are beginning the full swing of harvest up here)

I just did gp's and was wondering about the extentions effect on the torque wrench, but I decided that only a swivel would change the torque setting and since I was only using a straight 5" that I had nothing to worry about........... But man o man 14 lbs on a gp felt like a lot to me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So maybe I was way wrong and now have some super tight gps...........
