Dude, you're acting like after he races his buddy all of his mods will just disappear. Just because he won't make all of that money back right away doesn't mean its a waste of money.

Don't take a loan out for car mods.....esp if you are making a car note. Worst decision ever. Do the bolt on's and for this instance do a race gas. Call it a day.
and taking out a loan to modify a car is the smart thing to do
instead of making money being in the hole is better 
I've run 12.1 with a cat back/drop-in filter/tune at 24 psi and 11.9 with a tbe/drop-in filter/tune at 22 psi. With the parts that you have all you need is a tune and you don't even need a mbc, I don't have one.
im not that of a great driver.........

Pray to god he has the rear diff fail, like the vast majority of s2k's that go drag racing?
With flashpro and a good exhaust, I'm going to guess he'll be touching 120mph by the end. However, the nice thing is that he's going to have such a hard time getting out of the hole without breaking anything or just having his tires go up in smoke that you should beat him if you're a half decent driver. I would suggest a good MBC, turbo back (catless), LICP, cams, a splash of race gas, and a good tune. I would not touch that car on the streets though, light weight+high horsepower is a crazy combination where you're racing for more than a quarter of a mile. Best of luck!
