it sounds like a your serpentine belt froze.. check all pulleys and the tensioner. dropping 500rpms and no ps tells me the motor was was turning but the belt wasnt moving. something locked up and freed itself. check it from top to bottom.

He did say his brakes were hard. Sounds like the engine died. If a pulley locked it would shred the belt and probably not drop rpm. Sounds like a possible short causing everything to go haywire. The pop may have been a backfire through the intake.
