no better than the stock box.

Using the "search" feature here you'd discover the general advice is no enhancement via a race cdi, only good if your stock one fails.

I am using my stock 89 EliteE CDI on my conversion. Runs great.

unless you have a very high reving aftermarket pipe and cylinder to match and rotor kit,the race cdi won't do much.

If you aren't revving over 10,000 rpm I wouldn't even think of buying one.

No point in doing it unless you have CDI related problems. Only Japan model AF18E DIOs came with a factory speed restriction built into the CDI.

Only use these as a replace for a known dead OEM unit, and even then only if the price is better than good used OEM or other chinese clone.

My blue cdi was cool + shiny for about a week, after that it went bad.
Stick with the stock.
