5 grand at 50 sounds like first gear not OD. black smoke indicates fuel rich. Hard to tell...plugs fouled or no spark.

While we're all happy you've fixed your ride quickly and easily and you're cruising again, when you need help, it would help us to help you if you gave us more details about the car and mods or recent work you might've done to it.

This could be caused by like a hundred different things on these cars.
