LT1 OWNERS PLS HELP
whats temperature does your car run at. the reason i'm asking is because a friend has a stock 94 LT1 corvette and on the way back from the atlantic city area it ran at 210-215 then when he was around town it went to up to 230-235. the fan came on at 230. is it normal for lt1's to run that high?

Most certainly is normal. Low fan kick on is like 224, high fan kick on is like 232 or there abouts. I didn't like this very much so I changed those settings and threw in a 160 stat.

Before the 160 thermo/tune, ours did.
