Default gears and s/c combo

I know this has been discussed numerous times but I have read and been told some conflicting things and I wanted you all opinions.

So I'm seriously considering a Vortech S/C from Evolution Motorsports. I would have to sell my '99 Triumph Daytona 955 to do this but I think it will be worth it. I have also been contemplating some gears and a clutch kit from Hardtopguy this spring. If I go S/C'd, should I keep the stock gears and just go with the clutch kit or should I go ahead and get the 4.56's with a Comptech diff housing? Steve from Evolution thinks I should keep the stock gears and go with the 4.56's only if I stay with a NA set up.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

If you plan to stay N/A ..... gears would be your best bet. If not, then any form of force induction will give you an extra kick that is really noticeable

I believe that XViper runs the S/c and gears with no problem. Post the question in underthehood forum he'll chime in since he moderates the forum.

I don't know anything about the F/I but I love the clutch kit. I think if I did the kit over again though I wouldn't use the OEM friction plate/disc. I'd use something much tougher.
