If the engine did not fail you probably did not warp the heads. I would not drive it until you fix the over heating problems. A full cooling system service is where I would start.
I had it checked out by instrument today and it showed all o.k. per Vette manual >> I'm waiting for cool down and give it a test drive as the sun goes down > maybe the thermostat stuck >> good to hear your answer > if the engine did not fail > which it didn't > at least, I can sleep good tonight stay tuned <<
Have the cooling system flushed & replace the radiator , Hell the radiator is only 16 years old , Do you remember how Hot you thought you were at 16
