confirm my fear.....
02 z28, stock block, ati procharger pullied for 8lbs. today i noticed if i jump on it especially going in 3rd it leaves a 007 smokescreen. and another time it popped the dipstick out. is it like a turkey timer and it means its cooked or can i stay out of boost and limp it around for awhile. no noises or sounds at idle or anything and doesnt seem to be down on power,actually quite opposite feels stronger. im going to do a normal compression check on the easy to get to cylinders hopefully tomorrow. will that tell me if i cooked a piston or shredded a ring? or is a full leak down test needed? thanks

Even tho its drivable right now, i would park it until you leak it down. If the ring land is broken, it can score your liner badly, or pieces can lodge cracking the liner.

Check that your PCV system is operating normally - this can cause the block to be pressurized which can not only blow out your dipstick, but also your seals! It may be an easy fix if something isn't right.
