Need Help Don't know what's wrong
I've got a B20b block with a b16a head and yesterday my car kept killing on me and after a while the battery was completely dead, we had adjusted the alternator a day or two before and that belt was super loose the bolt slid it forward. Fixed that but when I was driving it home and I went to shift it would die. Had to keep pop starting it, got it home and coolant was bubbling in the resivour and it was dripping a bit out for about a minute then it stopped. Felt all the hoses and they were super hot but my car never said it was over heating. It was hot on all hoses, any ideas? Hoping it's not a headgasket.
also we were street racing yesterday and the guy behind me said I was misting out my exhaust wasn't oil either water or coolant but I had just got a car wash like 15-20 min before that so it could've been water.

Sounds like more than one problem going on.
Hook up a battery charger so you have plenty of juice for the compression test. If you ever get the engine started again, check the charging system by measuring battery voltage with the engine running.
A car wash will not make any water come out the tailpipe. Unless you're washing your car by dunking it in a lake.

Car started was really low rpm for the first 30 seconds but then I fixed it self. Making a ticking and a bit of a knocking noise. Hoping it's not what I think it is.

No... You effed up your engine. It's been obvious since the start. That's why I want you to compression test it, so you can see the failure for yourself.
