Exclamation sudden engine shut off

hey guys. i am new to posts but have been checking out this site for some time now.
i took my first road trip from los angeles to las vegas over the last weekend. i have a 2004 velocity red 8, and love to drive the thing. i was driving about 80 when i stopped at a fork in the road. upon stopping i noticed a very rough idle, then the engine died. i started her back up and put her into first, she crawled over to the side of the road, then died again . i let her be for a little bit then started her back up, the rest of the trip was perfect, no problems. a couple days later the same thing happenes, but this time i was doing 40. the only mods i have put on her was the k and n intake, nothing else. the cars got 4000 miles and has never done this before. this happen to anybody else?
