CDI is just period cool for guys who like the OE cars. Zero issues with fouled plugs and not everyone is looking for that last 0.1 second at the track.

But I GET it for those certain applications....
I am not trying to sell it to you. Again, I am trying to point out that a performance inductive ignition system works at least as well as a CDI system on air-cooled 911 engines. I think you should use whatever ignition system you want to use. But, the idea that a CDI is better than inductive ignition is just not right.

If I were going to build a nice 3.0L engine with carbs, I would certainly go with a CDI system. If I were building a 3.6L race engine with a modern ECU, ITBs, etc., I would go inductive. Wait, that's exactly what I did do.
