Default 1 Month Of Hell!!!

OK LOOK!! I PUT NEW HEADS,HEADGASKETS,ARP BOLTS MEZERE WATERPUMP ON MY CAR ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. MY OVERFLOW FOR MY RADIATOR BLOWS OFF UNDER HIGH RPMS 5K+. I USED THE SNAPON COOLENT TESTER. IT CAME BACK HEADGASKET OK.(CALLED SNAPON MFGR OF PART. ALL GOOD WITH DEXCOOL.) CHANGED THERMOSTAT(DRILLED HOLES) CHANGED RADIATOR CAP. STILL DOES IT (5K+RPM OVERFLOW CAP BLOWES OFF.) THE OTHER DAY I PUT THE STOCK WATERPUMP BACK ON. ALL WAS GOOD. TONIGHT I WAS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND IT DID IT AGIAN. I USED GMPP HEAD GASKETS. C

CAN IT BE GETTING BLOW BY THROUGH THE HEAD GASKET??? I AM OPEN TO ANY IDEAS...IF I GOT TO TAKE THE HEADS OFF WHAT KINDA OFF GASKET SHOULD I USE. CAR DID 465RWHP 431RWTQ IS ONE GASKET BETTER THAN ANOTHER.
