I have been told by many people that thats about how long they last, I am sure you can run them for longer and I did once, I would just not spray the car with them past that or anything.

Pask 6 6k miles I did notice a drop in power, replaced the plugs and got it back.

If you have LT's you should be ok with a lot of time on your hand with it being your first time.

If you had stock manifolds not having A/C is your friend
