Blown Head Gasket?
I think I finally did it. I was out playing with the nitrous and timing issues on Monday. Well, I started smelling anti-freeze yesterday on the way home. This morning I cranked up and the 91Z had a lot of condensation coming out the tail pipe. I think I blew the head gasket on the passenger side. Steam was coming off passenger side header. Does this sound right for a blown head gasket? Thanks, BranZ

Check for exhaust gas in the coolant, you can get some cheap strips at a parts store or there is a bigger deal that some shops have that looks like a turkey baster. Those things will usually show a problem that is even too small to have any other symptoms
