MSD, simple easy, and allows you to either use ground or 12v to activate (which LPE does also). MSD and LPE seem to be the two most used, also the Harlan Two Step.
If you want to do a lot of different things go with the LPE with timing retard vs. map or psi, or get the one that has 3 limiter settings so you have a limiter on your footbrake and a limiter on your transbrake if you have one.
The LPE can also be used to cut ign. when shifting a manual tranny to allow wot upshifts.

There are already a number of threads about this...
I've had both LPE and MSD. First bought the Lingenfelter; it stopped working after a couple months. The MSD came out around the time i was on the phone with Lingenfelter about the issue so i just bought the MSD to be done with it. The MSD has worked flawlessly.

I can't tell you how many threads I have read where someones LPE unit either stopped working shortly after installation, never worked right to begin with, or never worked at all. I don't think I have read one thread about the MSD unit messing up or not working suddenly. I've also heard from a couple N2O guys in the N2O section in threads where the retard function caused the motor to break up on the dyno, maybe due to interference by unsaudered or heat shrunk wires, but it caused frustration and that feature was not used anymore.
I wish MSD would step up in the LS department with stand alone limiters that allow using a second limiter for the footbrake on a turbo car along with one for the trans brake, and timing retard function vs. map/psi/time/rpm. I'm sure if they did one or several that had these functions they'd work just as good as the one you and I have. Until then, we are stuck with what we got, which in my case works great.

I was one of the people that had the Lingenfucker no step. It worked at first then stopped. Dont get me started on there customer service.
I bought two MSD two steps, runs them parralel in my turbo car so I use the first step on the foot brake and the second step on the trans brake. This setup is on its third season without an issue

There is a mistake on this sketch, havent gotten around to repairing. The connections that are marked 87 should say 87A and the ones that say 87A should say 87. The diode is from radio shack it was nothing special.
When staging the car I do the burnout and then press the momentary button marked PB1. this enables both steps to be locked in, I get close to the beams stop and floor the car. The car goes on the first step and I footbrake untill both bulbs are lit. I then engage the transbrake, that releases the first step and it goes up to the launch RPM. When the transbrake is released it releases the second step.

I have a Lingefelter LNC-002. I think the problem with them is that they aren't weather-proof. Looking at mine where the adjustments are made and also where the wires enter/exit the unit there just isn't any protection from the elements. I'm thinking about mounting mine inside my car somewhere when I make a custom harness.
