It's definetely the headgasket. It's been pushing some out the overflow and now it's burning some when I romp on it. The coolant tests positive for hydrocarbons. However, it still runs good and doesn't overheat when I stay out of boost... which I'm happy about.
On a side note, I took the revs up to 9100 RPM today and the valves were floating pretty good. The power starts leveling off around 8250 RPM too.
I guess all of this is supposed to be a sign. It's a sign that the time has come to go all out and start on my next goal for this project. The plan is to slowly get the car in race trim and try to get the engine making 600 HP without nitrous.
