We need more info, Like what do you call over heating?
The LS1 in the Corvette does run on the hot side, It is very comon to see temps over 200 in the summer.

Sounds like you may have some air in the system. Did you bleed the system properly after thermo and rad install?

Did you properly bleed your system when you replaced the thermo and rad? Did you run it with the rad cap off and let the system bleed out the bubbles?

Thats what I was thinking, I know when I first changed my T-Stat I took it for a drive and no time at all it was getting very hot. I had to burp the system and it has been fine since.
Make sure cap is in good shape.

Start w/ a cold engine
Remove rad. cap
Idle for 1 minute
Install cap
Cycle RPM from idle to 3000 until coolant reaches 210F
Shut off engine
Remove cap
Start engine
Idle for 1 minute
Install cap
Cycle RPM from idle to 3000 until coolant reaches 210F
Shut off engine
Remove cap
Top off
