I remember reading someone taking 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours to do this. May I ask the question how?

It turned into mayhem last night and a 6 hour affair and I still need to adjust some lengths. Driver side went smooth in about an hour or so, but the passenger side...my god if there was ever a more horrible place to work in the engine bay. Getting the plug wire off of the six spark plug was a bitch, because of that metal guard that was jammed against the header and all those dividers keeping the wires together on that side is just unreal. Not to mention trying to keep the 8.5mm wires away from the pullies and still not get pinched by the alternator.

I had it all put back together and fired the bitch up and what else would I expect but a misfire. I had 4,6, and 8 all messed up on the cap. So I had to remove the alternator once more to redo them, what a joke.

/end rant

I can't see myself doing this ever again...I also jacked my head against a metal plow while getting out from under the car...

took me like an hour you just must work slow. jk but i just took them from long to short and hooked them on the opti first then ran them how i wanted then cut and put the end on and hook it up and went from front to back on each side.

LT's and !AC helps out a lot with clearances.

X2 it only takes an hour for me to change out all the plugs and wires.

Wow, only an hour? I suppose it didn't help that it was my first time. I also have all that emissions crap on my longtubes which gets in the way.

there you go. without the air pump and other emission related parts makes it a breeze.

Could somebody point me to an emissions delete thread?

Air Pump and Bracket - just start unbolting; so easy even I could do it.

Air Lines into the exhaust manifolds - unbolt, cut / bent / rip out; then fill the two holes with Home Depot brass fittings.

EGR delete - This is a little more involved...

As I read 6 hours.. I was like wtf but then I remember how cramped everything is with emssions, stock exhaust or heck even shorties.

00FlowCamaro

Yeah the A.I.R. **** is a bitch to get around and makes it hard when wrenching.

sorry dont mean to hijack the thread... but what are the gains of A.I.R. delete and egr delete? any downfalls?

Damn, you work fast. lol. The last time I did plugs, it took me a little over an hour. I don't know if I even want to try doing wires.

No gains and no downfalls. Simply less clutter under the hood and some weight reduction.

Did mine in 1/2 hour maybe? Gotta love having all the useless crap out of the way.

00FlowCamaro

^^ yeah that would have been the ideal way to do it, haha.

Took me 4 hours to do my OTVC. I have all emissions stuff,a/c etc

It took me a few hours. The separators I used made it a total pain in the *** on the drivers side due to the primary that runs over top of the others:

Where do you get the wire separators for the OVC setup? I've been thinking about switching to them, just for a little less worries, and to organize and clean-up the engine bay a little.
