Thats about how long it will take after Long Tube Headers are on. I was so into the performance of them never noticed untill today when I was getting the engine bay ready for "Corvettes For Chip" Show.

All I am saying is that it is no problem at all getting to all of the plugs, I now have all the room in the world to get to them. When I do change them I will send a video just for you.

I agree it is easier changing plugs with headers, fuel filter is also much easier.

That's awesome!!! I believe it!!! Once you have room spark plugs are easy to change! I was in a contest at a corvette show and it was whoever can change the plugs the fastest on an Ls head... I won (1min and 27sec) for one head!

You are really tempting me to spend $500 on these headers!!!

Yep, headers sure make it a lot easier and the engine bay just looks a whole lot neater. I can now look down from the top and see the garage floor -
