Personally I'll take the shredded hands instead of a bill from the dealership.

Labor time is 2.7 hours, so most shops would get about 150-200 bucks. THis is the labor for plugs ONLY. Labor for wires and parts would be additional.

The 2.7 is labor for JUST PLUGS. In order to do the wires, they are probably charging a minimum of 1-1.5 hrs more.........remember theres a lot of routing to do on an LT1.
