Default weird smell please help!

ok so lately i have noticed that if im on the gas hard for a minute or two or if i go up a really large hill and the engine starts to bog out. afterwards i can smell almost like rubber burning but not quite kinda weird. i was thinking maybe oil but my car dosnt burn oil. (if it dose very small amount). hopeing maybe something to do with the head gasket since its getting replace when i do a mini me in 2 weeks. but if not its something i want to take care of while my engine is apart thanks guys.

its most likely nothing to worry about. it could be some many diffrent things. as long as your not smelling burnt wire,burnt clutch or burning oil you should be O.K.,
