Default whats up with this radiator fluid?

I took the car out and when I got back and turned off the car the radiator fluid was bubbling really high and even coming out a little. The whole thing was shaking for about 2min. This did not look good and scared me. Is my radiator going to overheat? How do I stop this from happening? Then after about 10min it went back down dramatically. Should I be worried about this?

Other than this small problem and the fuel is still somewhat rich. The car pulls really hard and is soo much fun to drive. Boost ownz!!!

Yes, check the thermostat to make sure it is opening properly and also that the head gasket is not leaking.
