ignitor II, Pertronics fixes burnout problem? Options

[swl]

I've read a number of threads here about the pertronics module and how the 'aw shit' factor comes in. Looks like they have listened.

Senses incorrectly wired Ignitor II or a “key left on” condition and shuts down the system protecting the coil and other components from damage.

so the d-jet is better for performance unless you want to use a mallory or do something else different and exotic?

No, D-Jet isn't "better". Indeed, D-Jet wasn't even used on all that many cars (914s, along with some VW, Mercedes, Volvos, even Jag V12s), and pretty much died out completely by the mid-70s. L-Jet, however, was a more modern system, and was used on a HUGE number of cars from the mid-70s into the 90s, including all later Porsches (DME was basically a modification of L-Jet).

Most of these OEM EFI systems aren't very good for modified engines, as they're not programmable. L-Jet has more wiggle room here, but it still has limitations. Nowadays, using programmable aftermarket EFI is a better bet.
