Please Help!!!!!!!
ok so about 10 min ago i was on my way home from work and i turned onto my block floored it threw 1st hit 2nd got up to about 5500 rpm and it died. would not restart, so i costed about 1/2 mile put it in 3rds and pop started it. it started up but the gauges were frozen at 2200 rpm and 20 mph tryed to accelerate and about 37 gallons of black smoke came out the exhaust, and it died again. im thinking **** it just blew up. i get out pop the hood everything is normal (except my washer fluid cap is open lol) but the dip stick is fine no oil anywere. i get back in the car wait like 30 seconds turn the key and she starts right up no CEL i turn back on the the main hwy take it up threw the gears and everything is fine boost is normal car sounds fine.
anyone have any ideas what it might be is my engine on its way out??? i have a custom tune by paul (06blackg85ss) so im not worried much about that. then i have the vibrant header/down pipe and an injen cai. thanks in adavece guys.

Mine shut off right around 140MPH one time. At the end of a run I did not let the clutch out. I was using the motor to help slow me down. The car died. I pulled off to the side of the road. It wouldn't start. 2 minutes later it was fine again.

Same thing happened to me the day I had Stage 2 installed (Posessed by the devil, no CEL, started up OK after turning off). Never happened again since. Our PCMs are known to have issues when getting flashed or "tuned". If it starts to happen regularly, get your flash re-flashed, IMO.
PS: Could be the crank position sensor too, but I think it has more to do with the PCM forgetting the crank re-learn the tech did, then resetting once I re-started.
