Default White Smoke....need help!!

Got my Skunk2 Cams, camgears, springs, retainers, water pump and
timing belt installed on my GSR last week. And now my car blows white smoke out the exhaust.

It died when I was driving and when I cranked it white smoke came out and the
car started again, and it died after awhile.

Any idea what it could be....head gasket maybe?

HeadGasket would be my guess. Check your oil see if the anit freeze is mixing with your oil yet. Mine looked like a chocolate milkshake, on my beater.

by any chance...did they/you remove your head when doing the valve train? and if so did you reuse the old HG?

Its sounds like a headgasket. I would do a leak down test open the rad cap and if the water raises you have blown your headgasket. also a leak down test will show you if you bend a vavle

they did not remove the head when putting on the valvetrain.
I'm taking to the shop in the AM to see what's.
Just wanted some ideas of what happened or what caused it to happen.

White smoke is oil and is I would say valve seals or maybe guides , this is a common problem when larger cams with used valvetrain with some mileage . The stalling is because your not pulling the same vacuum at idle and low rpm you must get it tuned for this .

So it's not a head gasket problem?
I looked under the oil cap and it's all milky too.

No correction necessary.

Classic indicator of a leaking head gasket/cracked head/cracked block.
Head gasket being the most likely.
