Default bet with my friend

so before he left to go back to school my friend bet me $40 if i could beat him in a 1/4 drag race (legally at a track) by the time he got back in the summer.
he has a 2004 mach 1 mustang, his fastest time was 13.8. I know i am at least as good of a driver in the 1/4 as he is. I was able to pull off 15.4 seconds in my b18b1 swapped hatch.
Right now my set up is;
B18b1
LS trans(one thing i think i need to change ot be faster)
14b turbo(with a t3 ready planning on 10 psi and waiting to be put in)
with the new turbo i am hoping to break 200 whp
450 cc injectors
stage 1 clutch and pressure plate
i plan on getting new tires before then.
before i tuned it i couldn't get it to go lower than 16 due to bad 60' times (i think cause of tires) and a shady trans (anyone got an extra b16 trans?).

any suggestions on building my car to run 13s?

i am going to stick with a turbo and slicks, i only need to make a 13 second car. nitrous is a seperate factor i don't want to worry about tuning my already boosted engine for N2o also.

Slicks or drag radials and just crank the boost up, you should have an easy 12 seecond car.

15.4 in a boosted ls swapped hatch? get some drag radials or slicks, and get that thing running right. Is your clutch slipping?
what was your 60ft and mph?
