ford 302 coolant overflowing through a radiator cap that holds pressure?

it is not any of the following:
the head gasket
thermostat
radiator cap (testing the cap it holds pressure, testing the radiator it holds pressure, when engine is warmed up hoses are firm from holding pressure)
air flow
coolant level
type of coolant
air bubble trapped in the system
blockage in the radiator or coolant passages in the engine

it is NOT an overheating problem
until all of the coolant is pushed out because of the problem of it not keeping coolant in the radiator during higher RPMs or driving


I've been dealing with this for a few months now and can't figure it out at all
it doesn't overheat until the coolant has been pushed out
idling with the radiator cap off it doesn't have the problem
only when either driving (with the radiator cap on) or snapping open the throttle open with the cap off
there doesn't seem to be any flow issues in the coolant flow other than it comes out of the top when the RPMs are increased either by driving or snapping the throttle open with the cap off and this is not a temperature based problem meaning it will happen cold as much as it will happen after it warms up

I keep getting stupid answers on this question saying everything it is not
if you are just going to say it's something that I've already listed that it isn't then I'm just going to give you a low rating
