Just to give you an example of how over priced that is, the local pontiac dealer wanted to charge me $300 to install a new set of plug wires. I bought better performing wires for $95, platinum plugs for $3/each and changed everything in under 3 hours (I also have an LT1). Plugs/wires on our cars are tough to get to sometimes, but I think it was worth the $200 to do it myself.

if you have access to a lift, it is cheaper to do it yourself, if not then $200 for labor isnt out of the norm for the plug change alone since it's not really that quik on these cars
