quote from plug chop page: is important to chop the throttle and turn the engine off with the switch or key and then pull over to stop...
on the stand there is no resistance for the motor to work against.

As long as you do not restart the engine, as long as you want to take. The plug will not change sitting there.
FYI, DO NOT CLOSE the throttle until after you have shut off the ignition with the Run/Stop switch (using the key is a poor choice running at WOT). Otherwise you can get erroneous readings.
