Default torque wrench in tight spaces?!?

OK fawk,
how the heck do you torque down tough bolts?
I've got my JRSC intake mani on my head right now,
but I just have the bolts on there "tight" not torqued down yet cuz I dont see any
way in heck to get my big *** torque wrench in there.

I mean seriously, the lower center nut was really crazy just to get the
nut on there with my FINGERS, I have small hands and I was under my car feeling blind for minutes until I finally got it threaded on there.

You can tighten it down from the top however(once its on) with a standard spanner wrench.. but how can I torque it down to spec?

I'm assuming its really not safe to try and torque them down equally without a torque wrench?
