I have the pioneer non-sfi HB. I like it and have heard good things about it. I got mine at advance.

I went threw 2 or 3 stock replacements in short order and few miles from "the zone".

Pioneer SFI spec

One piece unit so no spacer needed

No install hassles of any kind

I went SFI cause I spin to and a tad above 6K on occasion

It was around $150 IIRC

For the price, the Pioneer SFI is the way to go. No problems with mine...install was easy.

When I got mine they only had SFI and non-SFI...its been 4yrs or so since I got mine so maybe they have new names in the system...std. may be the non-sfi and HD may be the sfi unit...I do not know.

Bolts to the front of the crank. It has your timing markings on it.
