Yeah. At highway speeds. I'm thinking the water is circulating TOO fast without the thermostat and not staying in the radiator long enough for proper cooling?

Thoughts?

You need to run a thermostat. Gives the radiator time to cool the water. I used to run one without a thermostat and it never cooled properly. At the track it is different. Driving on the street you need a thermostat.
