Default does this sound like a head gasket??

i was running a guy at track tonight and my nitrous switch broke so we had the money locked in and i had to just straight wire the wire for the button (my 1st mistake) and i know i am a dumb *** for doing that. so i went to do the burnt out and the nitrous came on and i heard a pop and the u could hear like pressure bleed off something and i immedialty turned it off but it was smoking out the exhaust like steam smoke and the filter i got on the oil filler neck steam smoke came out of that too so what do yall think???

i will be tearing it down tomorrow to see and oh yea it is skipping also

This recently happened to a guy I know. He pulled the motor (forged LS7) apart and found cracks in the cylinder wall and the block itself. Cylinder pressure got crazy high and that was the result. He just dropped it off at ERL to get the block welded and sleeved. $$$
