Talking FLP owners: How long does it take you to swap plugs & wires?

I know a couple of you guys it takes a hr or more. I just watched my best friend do plugs and install new wires all from the bottom and took nothing off in 20 minutes!

Normally for me I at least have to take the starter off for the #8 and 6 plug. He even did the wires w/out moving the belt! Now granted I've pulled all the emissions long ago but still. Having the AC delete pulley helps a little w/ clearance as well. And to top it all his hands are WAY bigger than mine. He used only 1 tool too. Snap on wrench. After watchin him I was pissed but happy too.

So how long does it take you guys?

Since I am running the wires in the stock location, I have to also remove the headers, starter and AC bracket. I can do it in about 4-5 hrs. Your friend is pretty darn quick.

I can do the plugs in a couple of hours with this socket from SLP and a Craftsman ratcheting box end wrench.

Just to change the wires took me about 5 hours since it was the first time I'd ever done it.

If I tried real hard I could change plugs and wires in about 30 to 45 minutes.
No AC or AIR and hooker LTs makes it alot easier though.
