Most modern CD ignitions from OEMs are the next thing to bulletproof. The only thing it might lack is suitable tunability for a high-performance engine. The aftermarket stuff can be recurved to hell and back with out-of-the-box parts and adjustments.
I do think that ignition specs are overrated. Probably 95% of "high performance" engines out there would run fine on an OEM electronic ignition, with no need for fancy-schmancy plugs, wires, distributors or controllers. Moreso the later you get, as cars of the last 10-15 years have been tweaked to run on almost absurdly lean fuel/air ratios. Only when you get into high RPMs and extreme camming are you likely to need more out of an ignition system.
But hey, it's another place to poke in a Wow Cool! component.
