Angry car still overheats

so i finally got around to swapping headgaskets on my car. drove it around yesterday and was surprised it climbed up to 230 within less than a half hour of driving it.

i know i had a thread like this before but now the head gaskets are swapped, radiator fluid was flushed out, air dam is on there, gutted the thermostat so the coolant is flowing at all times, coolant is fresh, radiator is full.

water pump, and radiator have less than 500 miles on them (or so im told by the previous owner)...maybe the carb runs lean on my car

i have 2 electric fans one in front one in back of the radiator, i havent tried messing with those yet but i remember one of them went out, the wiring was loose, and the temp jumped to 250.

if anybody needs pics or something i can easily get some. thanks for any help or suggestions in advance
