Really nothing you need to be switching while driving? You turn the bottle heaters on before a run, you arm the nitrous before a run, you purge before the run.
All of those things are done while the car is not moving before a run.
Once the switch is in the arm position the nitrous activates by itself based on my window switch rpm setting - off at the upper setting and the progressive controller takes care of everything in between. WB shuts off the nitrous if I go too lean, FPSS shuts off if I lose fuel pressure.
What would I need to be switching while driving?

Well, obviously, because I wanted so many switches I had to get rid of the cigarette lighter - no problem cause I smoke cigars and not in the car anyway 
So after removing lighter, I dremeled out the console enough for the back of the far right switch to fit. Then I used 3M HD Double Sided Emblem Adhesive Tape to attach the panel to the console. Believe me, it ain't coming off.
I guess I could have used epoxy, but I wanted to still be able to remove the panel from the console for whatever reason at a later date without any damage.

That's the Dynotune rectangular gage. I ordered it without the housing, but with panel mount clips.
Beer made the opening just right, gage popped in, clip secures it from backside of panel - done deal

Wow, that looks absolutely great! The wife's first reaction, "I LIKE that!"
Details on making more Beer???
We could use the exact same panel except with the outside switch for the remote bottle opener!

The Fan switch is SLP I believe (I dont have those), as well the lock switch will be like the purge switch but red.
Quik that Lock switch come with the Lock? I like it better than the ones I am using.

I love my nitro dave's GTO panel
but it would be super awesome if it had the digital pressure and line lock built in

You should look into a different switch for the line lok on your panels. The switch I'm using is also lighted when activated.
The fan switch is the SLP Manual Fan Switch with LED's.
Beer - you already made the xtra panel for me that I requested, so it must be one of the other guys...
