2 wierd things and 7k again!

Ok get this....my car has been whitesmoking at high RPM's since i bought it, (5.5k or higher) well today while doing a routine check of the car i removed the radiator cap ( car was cool) and fluid came spilling out! Well no biggie right? right so i tested the antifreeze and it was good. I put the cap back on and finnished the maintenence up. Well i replaced the oil and added a bottle of cd-2 (or somthing like that) in a silver bottle (supposed to stop oil burning ect..). Anyways get in the car and drive for 15 minutes like the directions say. The car drives great! so i get a little confident and floor it in first gear to 7k.......shift to second expecting a HUGE cloud of smoke but to my suprise no smoke! so i let her rip to 65mph in second, the buzzer hits and i change to third so where's the smoke? there isn't any! the car hauled *** like never before!

Question 1- would relieving pressure/ not as much coolant in the cooling system make the leaking of coolant into the chamber at high rpm's stop?

question 2- Why would i see such a power increase?

ANY IDEA's? oh yeah the decelerating smoke has stopped too..I can slam it into second when taking a corner at 6.5k rpms and it will not leave a smoke screen anymore......wierd!

21 views and no idea's? i am worried that this is the "calm before the Storm" you know like when someone with cancer or a terminal illness feels great one day and then the next day they die a terribly painfull death! Anyone with a similar experience with the motor doing great all of a sudden then croaking?

Its possible that the cd2 or whatever up-ed the compression quite a bit like ATF would.

I'd say its more likely than not an oil control ring problem than coolant. "No smoke" is an oil addictive. Its not a mechanic in a bottle and would probably require an engine overhaul sooner or later.
