LT1 spark plug challenge
did my cobalt in 6 minutes
the camaro takes me like an hour, how in the hell are you getting to all the plugs that fast? does this time include jack up the car time and getting tools out, or just actual wrenchtime.

All from the top
I have tools/plugs on a hospital table ready to go.
Time starts just before I pull the 1st plug wire ends with ignition.
I use a stubby 3/8 ratchet, a 1/2 extension and a open end wrench.
Previous best was 28:39

It's easy when they've been done before or if you've got headers/aftermarket wires, etc.
The table is turned when the car is 100% bone stock and has a **** load of miles on it. Makes it fun to remove the factory wires without hurting them, keep from breaking the wire looms and holders, etc. Oh, and make sure the car has just been driven and is fully warmed up and hot before starting the swap.

I think I could probably do the plugs & wires in about ~1 hr now, on my LS1?

But I know it took 6 hours to change the WIRES ONLY on my friend's LT1!
What a f'n P.I.T.A.!!
Doing the plugs in anything less than an hour, let alone less than 1/2 hour ... you sir, earn my respect!!
