[Supras] Thermostat question

[Charismatisch at aol.com]

Hi guys and gals,
 
 
simple question:-
 
If the thermostat doesn't open fully, can the car show signs of overheating  
when driven at top speed (i.e. airbubbles in expansion-tank, air in rad.pipes, 
 temp. gauge goes into the red)?
 
At normal speed the car is fine - if I speed it up, I get the typical air  in 
the system, bubbling in the expansion tank, and temp gauge goes into red  
(not a BHG - that was repaired about 600 miles ago along with all the  other 
gaskets!).
 
As I only drive it in the summer a pal of mine suggested taking the  
thermostat out completely and sealing the housing  -  fors and  againsts??
 
Any answers much appreciated!
