pressure on the cooling system?

when my truck gets up to about 220 degrees it starts blowing hoses off.... ive finally took a wrench and tightened every clamp to almost breaking and it hasnt done it sinse... ive got a 2 core radiator, long chrome water pump, no heater so the hose is just looped from pump to intake, no thermostat, and a 15 lb cap... it'll blow a 8 lb off quick.... last time it did it to me i had 2 girls in the truck and nothing blocking the heater hole and the truck was about 220 (you can bet your butt i made a cover for the hole as soon as i got home)
