car running hot???

new radiator, new thermostat new head gasket and arp headstuds. car runs very cool when it is just sitting and idling, but as soon as you start moving the temp starts to go up and depending on how fast i am going the temp gets even higher. seems like the water pump is not working properly? any other idea's?

the water pump is brand new. maybe 2 months old. is there something i can get that i can run through the cooling system to clean the water pump? it probably has rust deposits because i run water instead of 50/50
