Possible blown head gasket????
Mods are 2000 Camaro SS m6 - Procharger P1 @ 9lb, LS6 Intake, LT, ORY w/ Cut out, Magnaflow CB, Monster 3.5 clutch - 523rwhp 468rwtq
Stock block and heads!
I’m hoping for just a blown head gasket....
So I took the car to the track (1/4 mile) and on my 4th run after it was done and heading back to the starting line, the motor started feeling weird so i pulled over turned it off, checked the oil and everything looked ok. Turn it back on and now a whole bunch of white smoke kind of smelling like coolant is comming out of the exhaust and the car is shaking with a little tick (Like a exhaust leak). Check the radiator and no coolant. So I call a tow truck to get the car back home. Once back home I turn it on again to get it in the garage and now the motor is surging bad like if i would have had a cam in it and a whole bunch of white smoke.... But no knock! so I’m hoping (wishful thinking) that it’s just a head gasket...
I have yet to take a look at anything.. probably do it this weekend. Drain the oil and see what it looks like. then remove the heads and see what that looks like.
Posting to get peoples opinions as well as a little help on diagnosing the problem

drain the oil and coolant first to see if there is any coolant in the oil and vise versa.

Ok, let me start by saying that i checked the radiator again with a flash light and the coolant in the radiator was full. Checked the oil again and looked fine. Keep in mind i only drove the car for maybe a minute after I noticed something was wrong.
So i pulled the plugs and except for plug # 5 they all looked good. On plug #5 the gap was closed completely. So I crank the motor and no fluids coming out the spark plug holes except the gas from the injectors. So I put my finger in the hole and its wet, smell it and it smells like coolent. Did it to all the holes and the only one that is wet and smell like coolent was the #5.
Tomorrow I will drain the oil and start removing the heads. Im just going to remove the heads and check it out that way.

thats the right attitude to have
when we abuse our cars we cant be too shocked when they go boom and gotta just build em bigger and better when they do.
