I'm not going to pretend I have a clue what I'm talking about but my wrong ideas might get others thinking
Could it be the piston ring gaps being too big or small creating too much friction? If this was even a possibility it might explain why the temps go up as you give it some?
Could it be an in-balance of intake vs exhaust? Would a restrictive exhaust/ exhaust manifold be holding the hotter exhaust gasses in the head or something? This again if possible would explain the correlation with footing it.
Short of that could it be something simple like a blocked coolant hose that's only allowing enough coolant through when the engines not under alot of load?
Maybe try a thermostat that opens sooner?
Maybe a bigger radiator fan?
I'm honestly not sure as you can probably tell
