Do a compression test on it see what you get and compare it to this i just googled this its the stock ls compression specs
gen 3

nominal: 199 psi
minimum: 135 psi
max variation: 28 psi

it just wants to get high sometimes, and unlike clinton it does inhale/exhale. what were you doing exactly(besides just driving) when it has happened. give some more info if you can and i'll see if i can help.

I'm almost 99% sure you have low compression. I had a '85 Accord that did the same thing to me on the way home from work. Was running fine, loud boom, and smoked really bad. I shut the car off and cruised as far as I could to a gas station. Got out looked over some basic stuff, checked for everything... Was a good 4 to 5 miles from my house and my phone was dead. I wasn't going to walk so I started her back up. Ran fine...like nothing ever happened... Almost home it did the same thing... I just did limb it in the driveway. Next day started up fine. I put her beside the garage and found out after I did a compression test #3 cylinder was shot.
