spark plug record time..... Ive read on here numerous times of people taking 2-3-4 hours to change plugs and wires on thier ls1, I just did it in 45 minutes! pulled all the wires off of the driver side, ran down that side did all the plugs and hooked up the new wires. Went to the passenger side and immediately removed the coil packs and ran that side did all plugs and hooked everything back up! 45 minutes..... and when i was done i got a wild hair from the heat and went upstairs and shaved all my hair off!!!

You are sloooooow..
..I do mine in 15-20 minutes... 
..but I do have an advantage..my coil packs are relocated..but when I had my coil packs in the orginial position I could do it about 25-30 minutes...I never took the coil packs off to change plugs anyway.. ..I do number 8 from the botttom it is real EZ that way...

The morning I left for the power tour I changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, and spark plugs...car ran like a top the whole way (just like it always does )..1600 miles later the clock reads 112,635...one of the best and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned..

I am a creature of habit..I've been playin with aluminum head cars since the late 60's (68 SS\A hemi cuda 9.40@140mph) and never have messed up a set of plug threads yet so that is why I do them this way..if we were all the same it would be a dull world..
