Default C5 started to skip and smoke

While doing a little spirited driving I hit about 7lbs. of boost and the car starts to shake and smoke.. It started to ski really bad. I opened the hood and my dipstick had been blown out therefore oil is all over everything. Check engine codes are showing
P0300 and P0410..I dont have any idea what to check or do..Please help..Thanks in advance...

Two issues. First you have a miss. Check plugs and wires. Second, you do not have adequate path for crankcase pressure to release. You should never blow out the dipstick. Don't let some boneheads on here tell you to increase the o-ring size, put a spring on it, or tie it down.

The P410 is for the air injection system. Get the major stuff done first, then tackle this.
