RXT or OEM clutch for a daily driven full bolt on SS? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My 2014 Camaro SS is in need of a new clutch at 41k miles (my wife learning to drive it and spirited driving are the culprits). Ive read good things about the Mcloed RXT twin disk clutch but I dont know if I need the upgrade over OE since the car is daily driven 100% of the time (no track/drag racing,) and is only full bolt ons. I'd like to do FI in the future (4 years from now) but i'd like to kill 2 birds with one stone right now with this clutch.

Question:
-Anyone with the RXT clutch, how is it to daily drive in comparison to the OE clutch? (In terms of engagement not pedal stiffness i.e bucking, chatter, etc)
-Do i need more HP in order for this clutch to run smoothly with my SS?
-Should I also upgrade my slave cylinder with a billet release bearing support from monster?

The Monster LT1 is a very good one and drives like stock. The RTX is also very good little stiffer. Both are rated the same. Can not go wrong with either.

I have a gently used Centerforce DYAD, I swapped to auto. Half the price of with options you are looking at. We can meet half half between H-town and Dallas if you are interested.
