Someone please help. LT1 overheating

I tried bleeding the system and everything seems fine and it doesn't leak, the temp stays at 190ish then it all just pisses out. It didn't **** out the first time I parked but it did the second time. It seems to come out right beneath the battery and then runs at 210 till it overheats and steams through the overflow. Any ideas?

the battery tray is the overflow bottle.

try a different thermostat. stock ones are 180*.

it will over heat if nothing is in the overflow or rad.

Perhaps you have a bad radiator cap.
