I honestly can't tell the difference in acceleration between the stock CDI and the Woods CDI. Maybe if you had a stock pipe and stock jetting you might notice a difference. Until someone dynos a machine with the swapping out of the cdi being the only variable I don't think we'll really know.
The thing I do like about the Woods cdi is simply the fact that I don't hit the limiter in 1st-3rd every 2 secs like I used to, to me this was reason enough to have one.

RW says over revving won't hurt it. Is this true? It doesn't seem good. I want to get one, but my motor will be staying stock. At least for quite a while. Warranty.

Here's a dyno of a 400ex, stock CDI VS after market CDI.
you be the judge, I don't know how much the timing is advanced on the aftermarket CDI
