Mileage is dependent on your right foot. Hammering on the 2wd at every chance, all city driving just filled and got 17.5mpg.
60rwHP and 80rwTQ, that will get your 31+ tires smoking. With the low end boost and increase in TQ, no need for regearing. AW-4 and 3.55s with 32" works well.

But most super charger kits only push about 7 psi anyway. If you start changing pullies for more boost , that's where you will start running into issues

Nothing wrong with 7 pounds boost. You will feel a dramatic difference. No need to pulley up.
