The time the water spends in the radiator will determine how well the car cools. I would not have removed the thermostat center. I have an 1/8" hole drilled off to the side to prevent air pockets after refilling the engine after a complete drain.
So -- if you speed up the water pump and the t-stat does not maintain the correct flow rate, your engine may run hotter.
