Either window switch is nice. I prefer the BMN, as it has the first gear lock out option. The BMN does not need the pills. We have a few instock.

I have heard good things about both, I have the older msd that takes the pills-
I was going to get the BMN but got this cheap from another member-
And welcome to the site- I see you are from Utah- I am In Salt Lake.
Maybe I'll see you at RMR or something-

I just ordered the digital MSD one today, it seems like the best functionality for what I want... and its cheap! Seems very easy to adjust and tell what setting its on.

I ordered a BMN from Disco Dave,,I mean Nitro Dave

I was going with the MSD Digital, but needed the 1st gear lock out for my big Stall Converter.

bMN is a good one. If you don't need a 1st gear lockout, get whatever you like better

I was gonna go with the BMN but decided I didn't want the 1st gear lockout...so I ended up with the Harlan and it has worked perfectly so far. It was really cheap too

Do you need to use pills with the new digital MSD one? Who has some good pricing on those, a NX 3 way switch, and a relay?

The BNM switch has an off swtich. I use it in the 1st lockout position for the track and in the "off" position for the street. Best of both worlds

How easy is it to wire up the 1st lockout position? I have a t-400 trans.

I have the MSD Digital & I think it is awsome. I got it with my dynotune kit. I can change the on/off in seconds even driving down the road. I can also set it to 200 rpms so that I can do some testing on my system while the car is idling (nitrous line unhooked of course) It tells you it's on & off rpms everytime you turn it on then reads your engine rpms. This way you know it is working/set correctly everytime you turn it on. I have it in my console.

Wiring is not my "forte", so I hired Eastside to do it. However, after looking it over, it's pretty straightforward. The kit comes with instructions, and a phone number for BNM. They were very helpful when I called about the settings. Good Luck.

The MSD digital is nice how ever good luck finding it in stock somewhere.MSD has not been able to completely fill anyones orders on these since they came out.WE get a batch in and they go right back out.WE even call other companys and buy what ever they have in stock.
Our best selling window switch is the BMN Controller.It uses turn dials and not pills.It has a optional first gear lock out which is great for traction issues on the street.It also has a shift light out put.The BMN sells for 129.00 and the MSD sells for 95.00.
Let me know if I can help you in any way.
Thanks
Dave

Does anyone know if you can use the first gear lockout option if you have a turbo-400 trans? I am thinking since its not electronic, probably not..

The way i understand it the first gear lockout works by not activating the Nitrous system until after you've reached the upper rpm limit that you set on the window switch. So, if you go WOT in first and shift into second after your rpm's exceed the window switch’s upper rpm limit, the nitrous will then turn on through the rest of the gears.
So yea it should work for an auto-
