You need a shop visit. It is NOT abnormal to get some blackish smoke when you hammer the car at highway speeds. It is NOT normal to get a check engine light under these conditions. That is a troubling sign.

Hard to speculate on what is going on here. I once had a bad catalytic converter give me the exact same symptoms you describe but that could be total coincidence.
