Default overheating under boost?? help needed!

i have a 1988 mustang gt and i just put a a9l ecu and mass air on the car a long with a 6psi supercharger and now, my car over heats when i rip through the gears. i changed the head gasket a few years ago and i just changed the water pump about 400 miles ago, anyone have any idea as to what is going on here? the car is fine when i dont "boost" it. i cant figure it out, but when it over heats it blows all the coolant out of the cap and it blows a gallon out of there....im pretty sure the thermostat is working properly because the temp will go up a few degrees and then drop to normal ( this is before it overheats)

You're detonating it. More blown head gaskets sorry to say. you need more octane or pull timing or more fuel or all three.
