overheating but why?

hi im havin some headaches with my 1997 civic dx auto,
i just had a new head gasket installed, had the head resurfaced, new thermostat, and a new radiator because my car was having bad overheating problems after a race but even after the new installments im having smoke at traffic stops and sputtering upon acceleration but only sometimes. had the CHECK ENGINE light diagnosed and all that came up is EGR VALVE and IAT sensor. but only sometimes does the coolant start bubbling in the overflow tank. what should be done?

Just don't race your 97hp automatic base model civic.
