blown head gasket????

Just trying to see if any of you have ever had this problem. Sometimes (not always) when i stomp my 94z28 it stumbles worse than you can imagine. I mean it feels like im stomping on and off the throttle. I.E. it barked the tires twice in 1st gear.
Its been like this for awhile and ive changed everything that makes fire in the car (opti,coil,plugs,wires so on and so on) its really starting to **** me off. I did have one guy tell me his z done this cause of a blown head gasket he didnt know he had. anyways,any help would be great. thanks guys

Sings of Blown Head Gasket (from Experience)

1. Oil is milkly colored, like a chocolate shake.

2. White smoke from tail pipes (could be minimal) and do not confuse it with condensation normally seen when car is cold.

3. Rough idle

4. Abnormal coolant loss

5. Cooling system gets pressurized (even after repeated bleeding). May boil over and gush out from inside the reservoir tank.

6. Overheat, sometime only under extend running time

7. Spark Plugs come out looking nasty, clean wet look, with some light brown/green taint.

8. Power Loss, some hesitation under load.

If you got 3 or more of these, then it could be your problem....especially 1, 2, 5, and 7. there are other signs and there are some test you can do yourself......
