Default Tired of troubleshooting need a GOOD AFFORDABLE shop SD

So I spent over a month on replacing head gaskets/clutch flywheel/headers and other exhaust parts and I go to start the car an it runs fine. I tale it off the stands and rev the engine a little, everything sounds good. I clean everything up letting the car idle. The car starts to misfire. Sounds like an STI. The car goes back to a normal idle. I give it a little more gas to see what's up and it starts misfiring again. This time white smoke starts to come out the exhaust, a good amount. I instantly think "****, headgaskets AGAIN" but there isn't any coolant on the dip stick at all, just clean new oil. The fuel injector harness is all hooked up right and my head starts to throb at the idea of ripping it all apart again...any ideas are appreciated. Anyone know a good shop in San Diego that I can limp my car to who won't rape me and know what they're doing?

Speed force is pretty good. But they are not cheap unfortunately. They could give you some ideas of what it could be though for sure. You should bring it by and see what they could do.
