So im putting on an aftermarket pacesetter header. Im wondering what how much torque for the header bolts and if there is a specific pattern to put them on?

Also says tighten nuts evenly, working from center outwards, to the torque listed

As MMGT1 said, when putting on the header or headers you tighten the center first, and work your way outward.
