Hi, jimberg:

I've done this successfully with the 2-minute intervals, but yes, it was on mostly stock 5.0's and highly modified engines may need more time, although I'm not convinced of that.

Don't let this little discussion confuse you.
The only real way to tell is to try it.
If 2 minutes doesn't do it, go through the procedure again (including the battery disconnect) and do it with 10-minute intervals - or of course you can simply wait 10 minutes for each stage the first time. Whatever works best for you.
