I am not building a race car, just a mild 1986 930, and I am doing it cause I like fixing stuff. I plan on running both CDI and inductive, with the ability to switch between the 2. Will be interesting to see if I notice any difference, I don't expect I will.

I am not saying that you or anyone else should be using and inductive ignition system on your car. The point of my post was to respond to those that say a CDI ignition is the best way to go on air-cooled 911 engines.

If I had an older near original 911 street car that came with a CDI system, odds are I would keep it that way. If I were building some resto-mod, I would probably put a 964 or 993 3.6L in it. If I were leaving the engine near stock, I would use the Factory inductive ignition system. If I decided to do something with ITBs and an aftermarket ECU, I would certainly go with a CoP inductive ignition setup.

I am not saying that an inductive ignition system is the only way to go. What I am saying is that CDI has nothing over a performance inductive ignition when it comes to air-cooled 911 engines.
