Air in the system

Thermostat stuck shut

Exhaust gas in the coolant

That is where I would look.

I have two 1/8 holes on the sides of the t_stat to eliminate air and have the system topped off with an overflow plummed in to help keep it topped off.

If your radiator is that cool then it must be a flow problem from the engine to the radiator. try taking out the thermostat and see what happens. Easy test and I wouldn't recommend not running one.
