the ap2 has more torque, and power yeah? yeah. well they used the same clamping force pressure plate as they did on the ap1, and with softer suspension. now the car plants harder, and also has a wider tire= more traction. the stock pressure plate isnt enough to hold all that, and have a CDV. all that is needed, for lifelong use, is a stronger pressure plate. ive already proven this, with 55k miles of use on a stage 2 plate, and stock disk. i drag race my car, thats all i do with it. i have 3000 plus launches. full clutch dumps, and i dont even flinch when i do it. all these guys are putting a bandaid on their elbow, for a sore on their knee, by removing the CDV. but hey, if they all think they are smarter than the manufacturer, then they should apply for a design job with honda. ive seen this happen with many other mfg, and gearhead/hillbillies removing factory stuff in an attempt for...*more performance* (hillbilly parody voice). it doesnt work. and you just end up with more shock damage to the trans/diff/driveline/axles. but hey, if your more concerned with performance now, then longevity and performance combined, then id say your toying with the wrong car, you should by a cobra or something of that nature. 
any more elaboration needed, ask, and i shall go into detail. lates

Your running turbo ryt? or this your other homie? I forgot. Havent seen you on the boards for a while.
p.s. Then what would you recommend for the AP2 to help with the whole "CDV" issue?

you can side step without removing it....i have a turbo and i still can do it, you just gotta feel it out....but ya i HATE that delay i'm gonna try to shorten the delay rather then remove it all together. I agree with the pressure plate swap idea ive been thinking that over. Who makes a pressure plate i can just slap to a stock clutch?
