I'm not even going to bother to lecture you about going 150 (cause I've done it). I will just assume you did it on an empty road where only you would die.
Anyway... did you see your oil pressure before/during/after your 150 run? I assume you were at very high RPM for quite a while, and this will quickly expose your car's oiling deficiencies (often previously unknown to you).
Drain the oil and remove the filter. Sorry to say, but you will likely see some shiny metal floating around. This is the rest of your failed rod/main bearing(s). Once you get that fixed, I'd try to find the cause (low oil, clogging, failing pump, broken pickup) before running it hard again.
