I'm not a mech but the same hydrolic principal would apply even if you were able to install a truck clutch.
The only way to prevent clutch slip is to remove the valve.

The slip has nothing to do with the strength of the clutch itself, the slip comes from not enough hydraulic pressure to fully engage the clutch - whether it be a 3 puck racing clutch or the oem clutch.

I will bet it is a guarantee that a fried clutch is a sure thing if you drive the car at all spirited. Your chances of bursting the rear end are lower, unless of course your doing 7k clutch drops on a sticky track! I would still think that the pros out weigh the cons, and the risk is more managable cost wise. Hey, mine is a summer only, second car. Im gonna swap out the 05 slave with an 03. The other way to look at this is....
The CDV is an insurance policy for Honda warranty! If they put the CDV in, then that will lessen the impact on the drivetrain (warranty item) and put all the damage on the clutch (non- warranty item). Seems like a good business move on Hondas part!
Thanks for all the input guys!

Actually, slipping can come from a glazed/burnt clutch and a weak pressure plate. The role the hydraulics play is all in disengagement.
If the clutch is not fully engaged or disengaged (the hydraulics), slippage occurs. The CDV delays full engagement of the clutch, hence, it increases slippage.

I didn't mind the shift feel with the CDV.
The only thing that bothered me was that I couldn't launch.
6k rpm clutch drop = burning clutch.

I hated the CDV. It's the worst idea that Honda had on the S2K imo, especially since I don't drag race / dump the clutch from a stop.
But I guess that does prevent some diffs from blowing up for those who dump the clutch incorrectly all the time ...
Anyway, take it out. It's annoying ...
