Yes,,Me...lol
The Allen is a very nice kit.
It was my first blower setup. Stock it puts out 5 PSI. I think my supercrew ran a 14.99 1/4 with it stock.
Then I added an smaller upper pulley and a custom crank pulley,#42 injectors,90mm mass air,Snow water/meth kit and it was badazz. Till it blew a head gasket...lol
I sold it for $2100. so if you can find one used,,go for it. Otherwise,,,plan on spending 4K.
I think I paid $4300. from Allen Engine Development.

How much psi can I run on the stock engine without killing gas mileage and breaking anything?

The way you drive it will determine your gas mileage!
If you can drive it normal,,,you should get better mileage but if your in the boost all the time your mileage will go down.
You probably shouldn't go over 7 or 8 PSI on your stock block if you want it to last.
