I'm not sure about everyone else, but I don't know if I could justify the increase in price from an HEI to a CDI for the 7.88 HP increase at 8000 RPM. For a race, shop, or similar type setup of course, but looking strictly at the numbers; that's a lot of money for a small amount of HP.

Power is just one side.

The others are (and these are tangible effects) is firing of the plug when it is fouled (allows you to use racing heat range at all times), Ability to fire all kinds of mixtures (heavy fuel and lean fuel). Better fuel economy (I have noticed this on CD Ignition).

Just some more things to think about. Though it can be expensive, especially if you go full anal like I did
