ITS A MUST DO FOR MUCH BETTER CLUTCH ACTUATION...BUT JUST ONE PART OF THE EQUATION. A BETTER MASTER CYLINDER AND SHORT SHIFTER IS ALSO A NEEDED STEP. IMO

I have the separate reservoir. But, it is a little bit of a red herring; separating them will keep clutch dust out of your brake fluid, but you will see no difference in clutch engagement. After all, the clutch doesn't car from which reservoir it gets the fluid, all other things held equal. In fact, the smaller clutch reservoir will require more frequent changes because of the dust, or you will eventually end up with WORSE engagement.

Bottom line, performance driving requires performance equipment and even more importantly, performance oriented maintenance.

Concur and was not saying otherwise. To be clear, a separate reservoir is a worthy and cheap add on with benefits of making fluid changes easier and keeping clutch dust out of the braking system. I have one and have not had a single issue with the clutch in many, many track events. A separate reservoir and a Speed Bleeder makes quick work of the fluid change task.

Since you have the Street Slayer, I think Thomas included a set of lines that include the bleeder and main clutch line, so you are set pretty good. On the separate reservoir, I would definitely separate them out, but with the GTO reservoir, it isn't a lot of volume of fluid. It is an issue we are working on with a larger reservoir, but it is a work in progress as we work on other things.
