which is about what youd expect out of a jk with 35s and 488s for fuel mileage. Benefit is a butload more hp ad tq and like you said as long as power delivery is smooth theres no place on or off the road that less is better.
FWIW. I have a 2011 JKU with 4.88 gears, 35s (measure 33.25), L96 6.0L with a 6L80E transmission, overall weight of the vehicle with 1/2 tank of fuel is 5628 lbs. I get 12-14 in town and 15-17 on the highway (at 70 mph).
As for too much torque on the rocks ( I actually do rock crawl mine ), no such thing. Too much gas pedal, sometimes... not enough traction, sometimes... but when I have traction, I crawl over stuff others have to put a whole lot more pedal to in order to get over the obstacle...

I edelbrock supercharged my 3.6L and I noticed much of a difference either. But I am on ford/chevy tons and 40s. The boost kicks in but the jeep doesnt seem to want to move, as in, power to the ground seems to lack there of...
