you don't even need an after market clutch with mid 300whp.. flywheels are ridiculous mods, imo and i would prefer NOT having them.
And why is it that you think "flywheels are ridiculous mods"?

and the ap1 flywheel is far from too light. it makes an ap2 drive the way it shoulda from the factory

I guess my bone stock all-motor S has more power than 300whp because a highway 4th to 5th quick shift will slip the clutch. even without the CDV I have to shift slow to hold. the clutchmasters stage 3 is awesome, if you got into a car with one you wouldn't even be able to tell it wasn't stock from the pedal pressure. you would know it's not stock after being able to shift quick and not have it slip at all 
and a flywheel isn't a "rediculous" mod, not sure where you get that from. it's definately not more rediculous than a turbo or supercharger kit which is what the topic is about

took the CDV out, my stock clutch after 27,000 only holds if I shift on the slow side. I don't know anyone with an AP2 and a stock clutch that doesn't slip, CDV or not. brand new I'm sure it would be ok for a while, but the CDV accelerates the wear like crazy.

I think this is bad information. If you're clutch is good and you know how to drive, then the clutch shouldn't be slipping, unless you are talking about the normal action of the CDV.
