Borrow one then. There has to be a local camaro owner to lend you one for the day.

Hell I would install it all for you if you were in Utah.

Haha. Yes a torque wrench is an absolute must for doing anything on a car let alone on the engine. Go to local auto shop and pick one up. They are cheap, especially if you can buy a S/C. I don't even tighten my lugs without a torque wrench. Tighten to much and you have just stretched the threads, to little and you do not have sufficient tension.

Just remember.......intake manifold bolts are INCH pounds.....not foot pounds. On these cars, inch pound, and foot pound torque wrenches are essential.

A good impact gun should take it off. I've never had an issue using a big snapon 500ft/lb gun.
