OK, I've put over 1700 miles on the green turd since Sept and wonder if I should re torque items such as the aluminum intake manny bolts? What's most important to check?

I do more of a snug test for bolts after some driving time.
Sometimes if you retork things it can cause problems.
A quick run thru any bolts that have gaskets, it will help in keeping seepage down to a min.
Valve covers, oil pan, headers, intake/carb and recheck the hose clamps are afew places to look.

Check the suspension as well, since you have access to the lift....

Suspension for sure.
Just check the engine and IF you find a leak, repaire it.
If the engine is OK , stay away from it.
my 0.02 opinion.

Re-lash the valves if they are hydraulic.

If you're running headers, retighten them. Then get ready to do it every 2-3 months for the rest of the car's life. :roul

Are you telling us you didn't put a little paint dab on every bolt you torqued?
