Supercharged gas engines just suck gas.
You may be able to put a clutch on the supercharger like Toyota did with some of the MR2 supercharged engines. Toyota did it to keep miles off the supercharger, so it will last longer and increase fuel economy.
Its sorta setup like that, I have it waste gated to zero with a control inside that lets me turn it up to 10psi before activating the meth to allow 15 psi safely. Ill see if there is any aftermarket OD units for the 46RE that give a stupid high ratio. Lower rear gears aren't an option unfortunately, its currently using 4.10s and its quite expensive to get it changed over to something else as I would need to change both axles and the locker
