Subject:New Radiator and Overheating

Help,

Just got through installing a new PPC 3 pass aluminum radiator with two
sucker fans and custom aluminum shroud.  Test drove the car about 10
miles mostly traveling at about 30 or so MPH.  Temp climbed until about
220.  I turned around a drove home at that time the temp was about 230
or so.

Reasons I can think of:
1 - Air in system??
2 - A hose in collapsing and restricting water flow
3 - Blown head gasket

I was running this hor before the new radiator but the old one was
leaking so I decided to upgrade.  Nothing else has changed and I am
running water with one gallow of antifreeze.

Any help??
