Yeah but you dont need all that tire rotational speed if you have the proper tires. THe only reason he's gunning the engine is because his tires arent getting enough "grip" in the mud - therefore he's relying on momentum to keep him moving . If he gets enough traction, he can actually stop the vehicle in the middle and start again (and maybe LO range to increase torque and help prolong the life of the trans). So IMO, the issue isnt really power, its traction.Good suggestion if he just wants more grunt at low speeds.
