Default Over Heating when in Traffic

Ok I am done... lol...

Parts Changed
Aux Fan Controller
Aux Fan
A/C Condenser Fan
Gauge Temp Sensor
Coolant Temp Sensor
Fan Clutch
Thermostat and Housing (aluminum now)

Car is still overheating in traffic... All FANS are running... I am at a loss for what else it could be... in traffic water temp is getting 220 degrees and the gauge moves almost to the next tick...

220 is not overheating. In super hot weather, normal temps can get to 230, which is still in the safe zone! 260 is boil over and overheat. The first and second tick are still within normal temps. I have chased this on several cars, and you can replace everything, including the radiator, and it will still do this.
