removed the thermostat? that isn't a good idea, it needs to regulate the coolant flow.

Got a leak down tester? One at a time, take each cylinder to BDC, pressurize, and see if air bubbles come out the radiator cap.

How is your radiator? Possibly have some internal blockage?

Does it only overheat in traffic, or will it stil get hot with high speed airflow through the radiator?
