My camaro has a good water pump and radiator and we took the thermostat out why would the top rubber radiator hose bulge around the thermostat housing and build so much pressure

You cannot run that engine without a thermostat. It's very important to the computer controls. If the hose is bulging, it's just a bad hose and needs to be replaced.
