Get yourself a set of M/T ET Street Radials....power isn't good without traction.
However, you seem to want to roll race him...set of Nittos will hook up decent for a more streetable tire.
If you don't have a lid, start there. Buy yourself a set of pacesetter headers and a good catback system. Get yourself a tune. You have to build a foundation. That will eat up your money right there. Then spray it. Put a nice size cam in her.....going to need another tune.
You're looking at a couple thousand right there. Welcome to modding.

There is a vacuum "Y" near the wastegate on his car. Reverse the vacuum lines. One is a restricted line and the other is not. He will never notice. Loosen the grounds on the back of the passenger side head too.
Only joking. I used to work on tons of them. We were the 1st single turbo in the 7s @171 MPH.
Do what the other guys said. I'm kind of in favor of a hidden juice system.

his car is only fast from a stop beacuse he has to powerbrake to leave with some boost from a roll his turbo takes a while to spool up so i might be able to get him right now he flat out smokes me by like 6-8 cars from a stop and from a roll it more like 5 cars either way im getting beat every time 
spray it. don't let him run the it's a v6 bullshit. the gn has a power adder and that turbo is worth more power then the extra two cyl the v8 has. as you can see i've already been through this. my bud has a 10sec GN and i have a 10sec ta.even he will tell you a power adder on a v6 is worth more then ci's so spray him. if you start hooking too well,your rear will not last long and he will win again. goodluck to ya.
