As for the fuel pump, I replaced it last winter with a 255 lph, I still hear it priming and such, so I think thats fine.

As far as your car problem, i had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me. Just like you said it was running better than ever. The night before my car died the last time, I had run my fastest time at the track.
The first time this ever happened to me my stock fuel pump pooted. A few pumps later I replaced it with a 255 lph pump. 6 months of that pump being in, it died. It primed all day, but with a fuel pressure gauge it only primed to 6psi...as opposed to 42.
I suggest hooking up a FP gauge and checking out whats going on with that to at least rule it out. Even if at idle it shows to be ok, give it a minute to warm up and give it some gas, see if pressure drops. If not, powerbrake it (small one, not enough to break the tires loose) and see if it drops. It shouldnt drop below 35 (idle fp). Keep us posted.
As far as AAA, I upgraded to Gold after i realized how valuable it was. Unfortuneately I got a letter in the mail saying you only get 4 free tows/year up to 100 miles and I had used all of mine (my car broke down a lot before bringing it to JS Performance, doesn't anymore). Next time you have to call them request a flatbed.
