Look man, whoever told you to run on stock injectors with just an VAFC2 shouldn't be giving you advice. Next time ask us first so we can help you out and you wouldn't have blown your motor. But yeah, sounds like a head gasket.

Yeah, sounds like a blown headgasket, or at worse, a cracked sleeve letting coolant seep in. That's the worst case scenario though.
yeah the stock injectors are fine at that psi, and sure the afc helps tune the fuel. but you don;t have anything to pump the additional fuel to the injectors. If your going the AFC route then i say get yourself a fmu (either vortech or aeromotive) and an inline pump. But now you def. blew a head gasket. Go the extra step now and make sure to take the head to get checked to see if it's warped. It would not help at all to get the fuel system and new gasket but have a warped head.

you said it was white smoke. white smoke is coolant burning, blue smoke is oil, and black is carbon a rich fuel setting. so if you are getting white or blue you have a blown head gasket or have messed up your rings.
