PVL vs CDI
depends on the stator and coil as to what kind of spark you get.
The pvl is a "set" ignition. Meaning the ignition curve never advances or retards at any time other then what the ignition plate is set at. That is the reason why it doesnt run a CDI.
A cdi based ignition is much more flexable, depending on what cdi/unit your using you can make custom curves, switch curves with a flip of a dip switch. Mainly the most adventageous feature of a CDI is if you run a big bore motor you can throw a low timing at initial startup to reduce or eliminate kick back (easier to start) and still have the ignition advance to make good upper rpm power.
