Hey there - Do not run the car without a thermostat, it actually has the function of slowing the coolant flow down to keep it in the radiator longer to enhance and aid in the cooling. You need a certain level of heat to help keep the deposits from forming and potetially plugging up the system. I would source a cooler thermostat, like a 160 degree should help. Good Luck!
