My first reaction to suddenly won't go more that 45mph is that the ALDA boost reference tube blew off.
As for the smoke I had a sudden NASCAR flashback(watching, not driving) of hole in the piston or burnt valve.

I'd do a tear down. Call it morbid curiosity, but I always like to know what went wrong and why. Maybe I can avoid it next time.
