HoosierDaddy?

I jus recently got my car back on the road after 5months,2002 LS1 Camaro..filled up all the fluids(had to put water instead of coolant cuz its all i had at the time) and the temp is at the half-way point Even after I let the car run a bit..Is This Normal/Average Temp for LS1's to be at?

Very normal. Don't let it go past half, and drain that water asap and put some dexcool. Water can ruin your engine with time.

Distilled water and a couple bottles of water wetter is what I use. Stays cooler than glycol (dexcool). Water is ok if its distilled, and youre not in Alaska. Regular tap water has a lot of calcium and minerals that will deposit in your radiator with time and it can be corrosive.
