Did a DD clutch give you quicker ET's or launch harder in Pulling

Ok I know you can build boost at the line with a Dual Disk clutch. Building boost helps a ton on an auto but how does it do on a manual. I ask because 2nd gear goes by so fast that it doesnt seem to be a problem.

For the guys that drag with manuals and build boost at the line did the boost launch result in a lower ET. Or was it a wash because of the harder to shift qualities of a DD clutch.

Now as far a slead pulling goes did the Dual Dish clutch's ability to build boost before you launch result in better pulls.

I'm saking all of this because I know I can get a single disk to hold the power of my future mods, but the DD is more appealing because of its ability to build boost, and thats all.

Hope you guys understand my question
