Yes Russ is in the repair business as he runs a smaller shop in Regina. However, he is very knowledgeable on Corvettes as he has had his 04 Z apart and together a few times (long story about a certain dealership doing an extremely poor job under warranty). I'll always take mine to him to get fixed if I can. I'm sure if the market allowed, he would do more mods as I am sure he is very capable.

Rad is good, just a question, what temp. dopes your C6 run at ? Mine is 90 degrees C ,

 

[not2melo]

My C5 is at 90-95C (194-203F), think that is a good operating range.
You can change the Tstat to open at a lower temp, say 160F but then
you also need to adjust the 1st and 2nd fans to lower settings.
Do you have a tune in there or OEM?

 

[HLN A55]

my C5 runs at 91C right on the nose..

 

[Z51]

No tune . Mostly stock just have the Vararam amd a Corsa Extreme Exhaust, But never really checked the running temp that close till new rad was installed

 

[not2melo]

my C5 runs at 91C right on the nose..

Tony it must go up and down at least 1deg
Nothing like a fine tuned machine!

Well... ok... maybe one degree... but it seems to be 91 every time i check it...

What is this Russ and where could a guy locate his shop? I live an hour and a half from Regina and have Extremes ordered and headers in the cart awaiting Manny's input...likely toss a Vararam in for good measure...and need an installer.

 

[Riley P]

Weird to put this on a Thanks Manny thread, but his name is Russ Kemp and he owns a repair shop called Auto Lab...I think. It's just off Albert north of Toy R Us. If you can't get Manny to do it, I'm sure Russ is the next best person to see.

Manny is taking a needed vacation and will be back in another week.

Can't see me driving to Cambridge just to slap in exhaust...would be fun trip but no. And put it here cuz saw his name mentioned here, was going with the flow.
