Question issues with radiator

was up everyone.. ok so i just installed a mini radiator on my evo.. now my issue is that the temp stays perfect wen im at a dead stop.. but wen im moving after a bit the temp rises to 3/4's to the top on the guage.. and wen im at a stop if goes down right below the Farenhite symbol.. what do u guys think it could be the water pump maibe.. or is it maibe wit the tuning of my car.. and another thing is i get a random smell of antifreeze but no leaks.. i think its wen the fan turns on it spreads it.. any ideas on this?.. thanks

Could be a few things. Im guessing you didnt correctly bleed the system and there is not sufficient coolant transfer during higher heat loads (driving) because of air in the system. Air takes up space, expands when hot and may be pushing coolant out of your reservoir.
