Head Gasket Problem

[Turbo_SRT_05]

hey guys. a while ago i was racing a rt magnum and i felt the motor jerk ever so slightly. I noticed a few days later that i had a little white smoke coming out of the exhaust. everyone says its blue but they are color blind. I know that my pcv valve is muffed up and i dont have a catch can yet but it isnt blue. I was running my car about 17 lbs at about 12.8 on the wideband and i have 101 octane in the car. One hour after that i had restarted my car and it was pouring out white smoke. i ordered the dcr 5 layer gasket but dont have money for studs yet. can i reuse that factory bolts or do i have to buy new ones. if i have to buy new ones then i will park the car and buy the arp head studs when i have the money.
let me know what i should do. I am trying to avoid buying the studs for my motor because i have a spare built motor in my garage waiting for a billet tensioner and some other small stuff, one being head studs and a gasket. The car smokes occasionally and it doesnt smoke when its warm or after i have ran it. just certain times. very awkward.
let me know what you guys think???? i am at a loss. i want to make more than 400 for the srt showdown in orlando in october but what should i do in the mean time?????

HELP???

no u cannot reuse head bolts, im pushin around 500 hp on stock head bolts and 5 layer head gasket. id park ur car so u dont mess up the head. and btw 12.8 even with 101 octane seems a little lean to me.

what does the smoke smell like?

get a leak down test done on it.

my car is smells like a bit of oil with a lot of white smoke.that sucks man. the built motor will be done next month anyway. the only thing i am waiting for is a billet tensioner and the methonal and obviously the head studs.

do a compression test on it, if it smells like oil could be rings or valve seals.
i had a white smoke with a blue hue and my valve seals are going out.
