Is it possible I blew out a chunk of Carbon?
My car is automatic.
I was driving home from a road trip (drove about 500 miles from Miami to Orlando). I had been driving pretty hard
After the volt I was going about 90 when I heard a loud "thud" and the car shook. Immediately the car surged forward and I felt like I had more power on tap. My rough idle was gone. The car started faster. And there were a few other noticed improvements.
No glowing cat or rattle. So I'm fairly certain the Cat didn't blow.
Any light you could shed on the situation would be great.

Street racing content removed. Don't repeat it.
If there is a chunk of carbon big enough to make that kind of noise, it would have taken your engine with it.
Likely your cat blew out.
