Default Corvette Fever Tech?

In the current issue of Corvette Fever under a byline from Tom Benford there is an article called Weekend Projects 2008.

The first project is about replacing your intake manifold bolts with SS so they dont rust.
In one accompanying picture i counted 3 pieces of rubber hose and 5 screw type hose clamps on the fuel lines

So much for Mr Benford's credibility.

He's the same guy that endorsed the "Tornado FuelSaver", the "Turbonator", and several other "miracle" devices in an issue about 8 months ago. Hope he carries a fire extinguisher.

He had nice article on installing a master cylinder without bench bleeding it too. Just bolt it on and go.....

Corvette Fever and Vette are a joke. The were like 15 pages dedicated to a non Corvette driving school and jacks and jack stands this month.
