The deciding factor for when a/an should be used is the sound that begins the word which follows these indefinite articles, rather than the letter which does. Use "an SPI" (SPI begins with the consonant letter S, but the S is pronounced with its letter name, "es.").
While I agree with your pronunciation, I believe the SPI maintainer (which you forgot to CC) pronounces it in James Bond-style, i.e. rhymes with "spy" ;-)
