You need a better class of friends. He is yanking your chain and making you look silly. Either that or he is not sharing the good drugs.

It is also important to make sure that the oil filter hole is of the correct size and not worn out do to the stress of the High performance oil being inserted at high pressures...
If not acquire a "Oil Hole Extractor" to remove the worn out oil hole. You can purchase a new one @ kalecoauto to be inserted. They carry both the extractor and resized oil filler oils.
Good sealing is a key to High performance Output !

Among other things. 
Makes me think of the joke below:
A guy and a girl were driving down a lonely road one winter. Suddenly the car lurched and they pulled over. One of the tires was flat. The guy went out and started to change the wheel. A little while later, he came back into the car and said his hands were cold. The girl told him to put them between her legs which he did. When he got warmed up, he went back outside. Came back a little later and did the same thing. The third time he came in, the girl asked "Aren't your ears cold too?"

Funny story....I bought a nice tasteful 454 logo for the back bumper off of ebay(25 bucks) and l misplaced it by the time that I finished wet sanding
Just imagine what kind of power that would have added

Since it is a Corvette, the garage must be sterilized and cleaned. Make sure you shake each bottle of oil slightly before purchasing, making sure there are no bad molecules inside. Only buy the most expensive oil filter the store carries and ONLY from an unopened box, to lessen the chance of having a filter contaminated with bacteria and light damage.
You must stand at a slight angle over the engine bay. The funnel must be sterilized before use and only inserted 1.2" into the valve cover. The oil must be poured at a 84 degree angle, as not to cause the oil molecules to bump into each other, which may cause severe engine damage.
After the 24hr waiting period, you must then start the engine. If you hear any odd sound whatsoever, no matter how minute, you must rebuild the engine!

this, as we have been doing it WRONG all these years.
I can't wait for my next oil change so I can apply this technique. MAN, I bet there's a big difference in performance.

HHMMM. Don´t forget to fill up your spark plugs with new spark filters at your next tune up. They are "similar" to those in the injectors.
Or how about a tire deflation device before putting your vette to sleep before winter. It comes with a can big enough to store all wheels´(including spare) air.
Damn, wouldn´t the vette run better when tires are inflated with laughing gas? Just a thought.
A mud mask for your wife´s face (or whatever you call it),
a mud mask kind of treatment for your carpets make them silky and smooth.
If they are dirty afterwards you obviously did something wrong......
Put some garlic in your tank to get rid of...... Well, you can fill in yourself.
I call it a day...
