DON'T drive your car!
The temp needle does not move untill "after" the car has allready reached overheat temperatures.
Have it towed to a race shop. Have them pressure check the radiator and look for other problems.
If you can't get it towed, get a bottle of stop leak and a bottle of watter weter or pruple ice and pull over instantly when the needle moves. Drive with the heater on and leave on when pulled over.

get an aftermarket temp guage immediatelly
i lost two motors due to heat...one was a minor overheat during an evening cruise...pulled over...toast
i wasnt even boosting
dont drive it AT ALL.
go racer knows what he is talking about..listen to him
but expect the stop leak to clog yer radiator a bit which will cause it to operate at higher temps laters

your water pump may be going bad. check for a sign of leakage from the weephole on the underside of it. also check the seal on you radiator cap. i just had to replace both recently for the same problem.
