Warped condensor?
As I was tearing everything out to fix my overheating issue and clean the condenser and radiator out (as per this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...ing-issue.html) I noticed the condenser being warped, does this warrant a replacement??
I may end up having to replace it and the radiator because of all the debris caught in the fins I cant seem to get out

Let's just say WTF happened to the condenser?
However I doubt the twisted condenser has any bearing on your heating issue, but the trash does!
Try reverse flushing the fins with a power car wash.

For the rocks, my hose doesnt have enough pressure to get the rocks out so im going to try a car wash pressure washer like you were saying and see if that clears out the radiator.

Since you have it out of the car try dropping it face down on the pavement from about a foot or two high. That is what the radiator shop guy did to clean my RD Racing Radiator. Otherwise get yourself some picks (some welding rod ground down to a point) and pick each and every one of the fins which is what I did while my condensor was still in the car.
