That all sounds pretty normal to me, but I don't know the LT1 at all. What exactly is odd about it?

Does it run like normal, or does it run like ****? If it runs well I would also suggest the water pump. How many miles are on the car? Mine sits a lot and I have yet to see that issue arise. Though I have had a LOT of other issues with my 3.4.
