I'm pretty sure 5k RPM for a hard launch is more than enough power.

Clutch slip is due to the pressure plate not having enough grip, not the cdv. People who have removed the cdv state they still experience slip, and people that have replaced the pp or put in a lighter flywheel state they have less slip.
I don't think the cdv is the main culprit - it slows the engagement of the clutch, but its the pp that grips. The clutch will always disengage at the same rate with a cdv, but if you've ever experienced this slippage in an AP2 on a hard shift, the slippage lasts much longer than the cdv delays the clutch. The main culprit imo is a pp that cannot grip the heavier flywheel Honda introduced in2004.
If you remove the cdv, you will have direct release that can engage faster than the cdv on shifts, and that will feel different than the cdv, but for grip, its the pp, not the cdv.

It slips the clutch on rapid shifts. It helps protect the drivetrain from the shock of hard shifts...especially the diff.
Removing it allows power to more rapidly be transferred from the engine to the rest of the drivetrain when shifting, which can make the car quicker.

However, Honda also replaced the flywheel with a good-deal heavier unit, and that is why there is more slippage now imo - the pp was not upgraded to match the flywheel, so there's slip imo.

What does the heavier flywheel have anything to do with the pressure plate?
I've held the 06 flywheel and a "regular" one and it's like night and day. Can't wait to change mine out.
