slap some 14 inch or even 13 inch steel wheels on with low profile tires and you may shave a little off your time

that should work as well, so long as he isnt forced by the increased effective final drive to drop into a higher gear which will slow the car down...for instance, with my stratus.  i run 215-50-17s on the street, but i got a set of 15" rims and tires for the track, running 205-50-15s...those tires are small enough to increase my effective final drive, but i still dont have to shift past 3rd gear...a shorter tire would put me into 4th gear, and my car doesnt pull as well there.

With him trapping at 83 it would take a drastic difference for him to up his trap enough to need another gear change
