Can you make sure buddy understands he's doing a group session, I've never understood the dwell meter either, but it seems to have been viewed as an essential tool.

The fix for too high a power to weight ratio is simple, add weight. All of that double layered cab tin and a half ton of box on back will help the traction problem.
