Forced Induction Capable clutches

I'm not sure ifI should put this here or in FI. Anyways, I have a few questions. As many know, my car is out at GTM getting twin SC's installed.

Default Forced Induction Capable clutches

I'm not sure ifI should put this here or in FI. Anyways, I have a few questions. As many know, my car is out at GTM getting twin SC's installed. I recently bought a JWT clutch and flywheel to pair up with it thinking it should be able to hold the power just fine. I emailed GTM on this and they are absolutely fine with installing it, but said it was not a worthwhile upgrade for forced induction and said it is not going to hold much more over stock. I tried to do my research and didn't see any issue with the JWT besides minor complaints with flywheel chatter. I was under the assumption that it would be okay.

So now I have this clutch/flywheel I don't know if I should install it or go with their recommendation which is the twin clutch OS Giken. It is absolutely the better of the two, but it is incredibly expensive. Superchargers generally don't generate as much torque as turbo's, so this leaves me even more perplexed. So as to prevent this from happening to others, what is everyone else using with their FI'd vehicle? What are other shops recommending?
