For starters, I have a mishimoto rad. So I was driving to work today, and at one point decided to open up and hit vtec. I have a vented hood so I got a massive spray on my windshield as soon as I hit 7k rpm-ish and smelled coolant. I slowed down and drove the rest of the way without vtec, no coolant smell and I was keeping my eye on the temp gauge. Once I got to work I popped the hood and I had coolant around the radiator cap, and the wet spots are right above the radiator cap. Due to the fact that it sprayed everywhere, I feel like I cant isolate where it came. Does anybody have any experience with this kind of issue?

Leaking Mishimoto caps is pretty common yes.

Would it spray everywhere, and be completely fine outside of vtec? I left it idling hoping I could spot something, but nothing anywhere

Vanishing Point

Have your cap tested, it may be failing below it's rated pressure. The same pressure test tool can determine leaks at the radiator.
