If you run it cold in the driveway, with the cap off, does it spew coolant out or does it slowly heat up and coolant rises out as the thermostat opens?
Dosnt spew out it slowly heats up

OK if your coolant is not bubbling profusely then your headgasket is not blown.
Not to say it is not leaking slightly.
Only a pressure test will confirm you have all the leaks sorted.

Are you 100% the thermostat is ok? Over the last few years I have heard a lot of blokes on all sorts of cars having thermostat issues and this is on thermostats less than 3 months old. It seems to be more often than not when someone has installed a Tridon brand one.

Does the SS have a fan clutch?
