Need help/opnion

Hello gentelmen,

this is my first post, don't beat me up to bad if I make a few mistakes. Let me give you guys a little back ground on the car, it's a 87 IROC, ZZ4, mini-ram, 30lbs injectors, 6 lbs paxton supercharger w/cooler, msd boost timing control, there is a lot more but this should be enough info to get some opnion on this problem.

Last weekend I was at Maryland International Raceway to run the car, it was a good night I ran consistant 1.81 60 foot, 12.67 @108 up to the 4th round where I got beat (I left the timing bolt too lose and it backed of 2 degrees, brain fart!), anyway, when I readjusted the timing I noticed a little smoke coming from the valve cover breather. So I take a look and pull the PCV valve out (car running) and smoke (like blow by, blue in color) is puffing out like a train, I mean a lot with some pressure behind it. What can this be, the car runs great no funny noises, nothing, the idle is a little rough but that's it. Could I have broken a ring land on one of the PISTONS? What do you guys think?

thanks for the help.
