I'd check all your crimps, as well as your ground (ground to the frame rail, or sheet metal welded to the frame rail - most of the car is simply glued together and does not handle high current well.
If the thermostat wasn't opening, the radiator (and the water inside of it) wouldn't get hot, your engine would just melt itself to hell. You need to re-bleed the system, with the front elevated, heater on, until you get a solid stream of coolant coming out of the bleeder port - then drive the car, observe, and repeat.

I did bleed it with it elevated and the heater on.
Crimps and all connections/etc are good...but how could I regulate the current being drawn from them? They run fine, but if the fans run for too long it burns the relays up. I also am led to believe I need a higher PSI radiator cap, I put a new one on, and when the car gets warm, half throttle it vents slightly, so I'm going to try and up it to a 15psi.
