Have you tried a mech gauge?
Does the LS3 have a port on the side of the block up front drivers side below the alternator?
you could check it there.
I wouldn't run it more than you have to though.

Hard to see but down below alternator was a allen head plug...sensor screwed right in and I extended the harness.

And the car.....
