Well you have a problem obviously. Like previous posters have mentioned
1. Check that you have a correct fan shroud.
2. If you have a clutch fan, make sure it is operating correctly.
3. Your vehicle will cool more efficiently with a correct electric fan set up but it should cool adequately with your current set up .
4. Without a thermostat, the water has no restriction and can actually cool less then with having a thermostat in.
5. Possibly check fuel mixture, timing, and gage accuracy if there seems to be no explanation.
