What all did you do to the motor? Adding horsepower, also adds heat.

Are you running a fan shroud? If not, adding one will help get more air through the radiator.

Did you have the radiator cleaned? Or a is it a new radiator?

That's just a couple of things to ponder......

Hi - A common problem associated with over heating is the head gasket installed backwards. Not much fun to go back and check but may be necessary
