I think you're right Pickles. Most if the gunk follows the head gasket.
And it looks like the mechanic cleaned the deck with a heavy hand. My concern, ultimately, is my inability to have confidence in the power plant. When i'm into boost at WOT up around 5500 rpm and higher i can't escape the thought that something is going to break any second. And unlike the manual trans guys I don't get boost until i'm in that range b/c the pcm forces downshifts all the way to second gear regardless of speed. So i'm screaming at WOT when the supercharger bypass closes.
Seriously, when all the parts are in for my hemi swap i'm going to drive with my supercharger and not intervene by lifting my foot and cutting boost. I'll do that for a few thousand miles and donate the motor to the "lab" for a teardown and inspection.
