My engine bay is pretty well gutted so I'm gonna say under 10 min. Every hole is easy to get to on mine though.

Take off passenger coil packs then its faster(still have ac etc)
People who say 10 minutes are full of crap.

D/S bank takes maybe 10 mins, P/S bank take roughly 45mins to an hour, usually a little quicker at work with a lift.

On my car at pump gas there was 14 minutes from time slip to time slip we changed all 8 plus changed a nitrous bottle flashed a tune. We were allowed 1 driver 1 mechanic and the 3rd guy helped from another car(legally). That was on a motor that just completed a hour long drive and 3 passes in about a 50 minute span. Fun times. oh and it was like 100* out. thats my best i think.

Not bad guys! Funny how we can get moody! I get moody when I burn myself on hot pipes. It does make me work faster though!
