1990 Corvette runner torque specifications?

Does anyone know the torque specifications for the runners to the intake manifold and the runners to the plenum on a 1990 Corvette?

Thanks!

I go by the snug without stripping adage. Maybe someone can look up the exact inch-lbs number for you.

Yup, they will strip with less torque than you would expect...1/2 turn past snug for me (stripped them before will never do it again)
