Pay someone else to do it?

Or if that isn't an option, removing the intake pipe from the blower always helps me.

Same as stocker just takes twice as long Seriously, I remove altenator, Move aftercooler, remove intake, Fans and also move the blower bracket, Remove Starter, Thats to do plugs and wires. If you are just doing plugs it's way easier. It usually takes me about 5-6 hours for plugs and wires, about half that for plugs only.

Thank God (and Bob Bailey) for the LTCC. Once you make the wires, it only takes about 10 minutes to change them.

Re: changing plugs, wires on SC cars....

well i did the plugs and wires the other day. i took my time and it took about 8 hours. i split it up into two days.

basically i just removed the supercharger/bracket/piping etc. to do that i had to remove the fans, drop the front sway bar. didnt need to move the aftercooler because i did all the driver side from underneath. and did the pass. side from the top, ive got skinny arms. without a supercharger i dont think the plugs and wires would be as much of a task as everyone makes it out to be.

didnt need to remove the alternator or starter.....
