Default rad fluid overflowing

Got an Ls-Vtec set-up in my 1991Crx. Everytime I go on the race track, the rad fluid overflows the container causing the car to wipe-up! I just changed the head gasket and other parts to fix my overheating problem. Note that this overflowing problem started since day one. Still using my stock rad.

Is it a radiator problem? Need a bigger one?

did you have the head resurfaced when you replaced the headgasket. Your head may be warped or the block may be out of spec too. Hopefully you didnt do all that work and not go through the correct procedures.
