Exclamation Opinion is needed? Which CDI Box to buy?? (rev booster)

Well, this weekend I aquired a new fiddy to my name. Its got a 88 TB kit on it, with the stock carb. Anyways, the guy I bought it from burnt out the cdi box by trying to wire up a light, so I am in need of a new cdi box....aka.....rev booster. We swapped out a stock cdi box, and it fired right up. We noticed it had great torch and lower end speed, but it wouldnt go worth a crap. My buddies stock fiddy would smoke it in the long haul. I know there are two things that have to be done. One is, get a bigger carb (20mm), and two is buy a new cdi box. So here is my question?

What cdi box(rev. booster) do yall recommend for a 88cc TB(trail bike)kit?

So far i am leaning towards the Kitaco Or the TB performance Cdi box for 88 kits.

Kitaco= $55 supposely is the best one out there, and re-maps your entire system

TB cdi=$28 havent heard much, I just know its a good one to buy

I'm not sure which one is better, but you can ask Fab about the TB kits. I just bought an 88 kit from him and I'm thinking about getting a CDI also

Let the engine rev farther--past the factory set rpm and some advance the ignition curve.. For a stocker not going to do a whole bunch but anything beyond that will help alittle
