are you running the right coolant/water mixture? make sure your radiator hoses arent too long. i have a problem with overheating at stop lights because the hoses were too long and because of the extra lenth it made the hose kink so that it restriced flow.

check your hoses, coolant mix, waterpump, and make sure all you hose clamps are tight because if they are not sealed all the way you could be sucking in air with it causing the anitfreeze to bubble and create excess pressuse making your radiator push a lot of water out of the overflow hose.
