I've ran it with the cap off and watched the flow and air bubbles come out but still problem exist really starting to get aggregated with it

Did you remove the upper radiator hose and fill the engine with coolant through it? If you don't the location of the thermostat on the LS engines prevents the engine from completely filling. You have to fill it slowly...... Something to check anyway.
