I'd go with headers, stall, gears and a tune if it was my car...that should really wake her up...should anyway
headers really dont do much for the 3.8, they have shorties from the factory, a jmod and stall would be good, tunes dont really do much for them either,

A 91 octane tune and having the cam properly timed is good for anywhere between 5 and 20 hp depending on how well the car went together at the factory. If you get a premium(91 oct) tune then its worth it

Don't use O/D when racing. That gear doosent pull, it more or lees caused you to bog which is probably why he belw by you when you hit O/D. Also, it is extremely hard on your tranny, keep doing it and you'll be puting in a new O/D band very soon.
