did you upgrade your radiator?...couse the stock one i believe is a single core..and most after market ones are duelcore...duel core will coolbetter..even without a thermostate to slow the coolant down in the system...just my opinion

You should run a thermostat, always. Very simple install and fix.
Coolant will flow through your engine to fast. This means that the coolant will not absorb as much heat from the motor as it should.
