If I could successfully install headers myself with a buddy in my garage, id probably be the happiest man alive haha. I have really limited time, space, and tools. It always feels nice knowing you did something like that yourself though.

I dont do much highway driving, but occasionally for a trip, car meets, or a trip to the track. Also with the 3.73s are you still in 3rd gear at the 1/4mi?

You should be, yes. Here's a useful gear calculator:

Keep in mind that doesn't account for converter slip, but will give you an idea of how those gears will perform.
