once temp gauge hits 210, engine starts cutting out

i made a thread awhile back about my car cutting out but i found out some more stuff that may help me. first off, my car is a 94 formula lt1, auto trans, slp cai and no mufflers. the car runs PERFECT until it hits 210, it bogs and cuts out and just will not get going, if i take off from a stop and get into it, the car takes off like a bat outta hell, but if im cruisin and its already shifted into 2nd, 3rd, etc. i hit it and it just bogs, WTF! any ideas?

I don't know. Is your coil ok? I'm sure someone else will chime in.

also i did the throttle body bypass the other day hoping to help it stay a little cooler, and i read there should be quite a bit of coolant coming out of the hoses, and there was any that i saw come out. u think the coolant maybe isnt running right?

i wasnt sure of the exact way to bleed the lines, so i unscrewed, screwed them back in, let the car run for a little bit and then did it again. but the first time i opened up the screws i heard a bubbly type noise, and the exhaust was smokin more than usual and smelt like old gas

This might be way out in left feild but do you have coolant in your oil or oil in your coolant? There is a good bleeding process on shoeboxes website. Im just guessing but the bubbly noise could have been air trapped in the lines?
