replace thermosensor, remove flock of pidgeons from grill?
is it overheating at idle? is it overheating on the freeway? is it overheating on the racetrack? does it overheat only when you're using A/C? does it cool down when you're using A/C?
the stock plastic undertray isn't a 'be all, end all', but it does help. if you're seeing extreme high temperatures on N/A, re-installing the undertray likely isn't going to solve your problems. If you're running slightly higher temps, the undertray can indeed solve your problems. Without it, you have no vacuum in the engine bay. Without vacuum in the engine bay, no air goes through the radiator.
You may have air in your coolant system. Open radiator cap, start engine, put funnel into radiator fill port, watch and add coolant as the motor sucks it down. When the car starts giving coolant back to you, turn off the car.
Did you install the T-Stat backwards? How about remove the T-Stat completely, and see if the problem goes away. You'll still need to put the T-Stat back in, but it would potentially isolate the problem.
You didn't recently change the head gasket, did you? Did the problem just creep up on you, or did you get the car after the P/O had issues? Did the P/O replace the headgasket?
You don't need a coolant reroute or a bigger radiator running on N/A power.

It over heats on the freeway without a/c and once it starts to over heat it keeps going like there is no flow, and it was like this with the p/o as well but he had enough vehicles he would just drive something else on a hot hot day. I had previously run tap water through it but only for a couple of days while it was in the shop trying to find the leak, i would drain all the water out before i left the shop so it wouldn't scale up the inside of my motor or the radiator but i'm going to guess it scaled up pretty quickly in the radiator.

all power is there as good as the day i bought it when none of these problems were there. i've had the water pump of twice and timing has been done correctly both times and its properly in "time". i'll check the neck of the filler once it cools down and put the new radiator cap on and test it after that

Are you sure it's over heating and your gauge isn't broken?
