... and we are all assuming you changed the radiator cap? Also assuming you got a proper mix of water in the system.
Systems don't run well on higher proportions of coolant/water. Water is what transfers the heat more efficiently.

Are you sure it is actually overheating and not getting a false reading from the gauge. If it is a real overheat problem it could be that your engine block is partially blocked and may need to be flushed.
