Yup, no problem.
You said white smoke, so I was thinking antifreeze. Does the exhaust smell like antifreeze? You know, sweet?
Are you losing antifreeze?
Try changing the plugs, or just clean them up, and then try cutting way back on the fuel. Then if/when you get it running better, throw in a set of new plugs.
You do have a fast unit, right? What does the O2 read at idle? Maybe your O2 is bad. Did you lose a bunch of antifreeze out the exhaust when you blew the head gasket. That might have wrecked your O2.
ARe you running it in open or closed loop at idle?
I would just try running it in open loop so that you aren't fighting the computer for control.
Just a couple of ideas.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.
