Well what color is the exhaust smoke...white? If so, it might be a blown head gasket.

Make sure the coolant system is bled properly, make sure the fan is being activated and turning on as well.

If anything, running no thermostat would just make the car take forever to heat up to operating temps since nothing is there to regulate the temperature.

OEM radiator? How old is the water pump?

didnt i tell ya, on your previous posts from before that the motor wouldnt hold up to a constant high rpm like that..... you've probably blown a head gasket.
