Did you check the relay for your fan....check to see if your fan is going on? Taking out the thermostat is dumb...at least i heard so...Your car has a thermostat to run at the best it can...that is why it is there...

First of all do you know if that themostat is bad? If it is replace it with a new one, get a low temp themostat from Autozone. And if you need a new radiator they aren't $400, you can get them for about $100 off absoluteradiator.com, I got my dual core one for $120.
