Default Drifting - new clutch - need to improve master and slave cylinders?

Hi,
i would like to have your opinion please, if you do drifting with your z regularly :
My z is a 2004 model, 280 hp, with brembo brakes and vlsd. I will use it on track very often, for drifting. I will do many mods on the chassis, and i ll put the nismo gt diff. I will add power soon too (400 hp with a compressor).
my question is about the hydraulics linked to the clutch : i will put a new clutch (czp stage 2), i will change the master and slave cylinders at the same time. Do you think the oem ones would be ok for a rather hard using in drifting? Or is it better and really advised to put the reinforced master and/or slave cylinders? Like the ones from z speed performance/willwood for instance. They are 4 to 6 times the price of the oem...😅
thanks in advance,
regards,
patdriver

He's accounting for compression loss due to mileage. Respect

Stock master and slave are great, the weak point of the system is the flexible rubber line that you will also replace with braided steel. When you replace the line, make sure it gets wrapped in heat shielding, use Dot 4 fluid and enjoy troublefree years from the system .

hi, thanks for your answer.
which line are you talking about ? The reservoir hose or the clutch hose?

The line that goes to the slave.
My only problem with the factory line was on a dyno. It overheated and I lost pressure
