Default Any reason not to go with msd window switch

$60 with some pills, any reason not to? Seems like a good deal for a window switch to me.

They work fine. only reason would be for some of the other benifits of a controller. like tps voltage input instead of a manual switch or multi stage or progressive . But for simplicity you can't beat a good ol msd window switch

It works fine(what I have). Pretty simple to setup and affordable. Only thing as stated earlier they don't have any extra features(which you have to pay for with other companies anyway). Doesn't even have a 1st gear lock-out function but most of the time you don't really need that.

like everyone said, you get what you pay for when it comes down to it. For instance, our microedge controller has a lot more then just a single stage window switch.

The safety features like lean/rich shut down switch are one of the bigger reasons to spend the extra money. Nitrous solenoid delay to help with any lean spikes is another one. Your talking about a 90 dollar difference that could potentially save your entire motor

or give a bunch of problems. atv's car last year had a wot switch for stage 1 and a wot/window switch for stage 2. we pulled all of the controllers off cause they were acting funny. went 9.1 @ 3700 lbs. leaned it out just a bit and it went to the bumper. I like controllers but sometimes they have so much it gets in the way. much easyer to hide the wiring for a window swithc only to

Those extra features are nice but wiring them up right and making sure they work sounds like a headache. I have never ran nitrous before so trying to keep it simple. If I thought I could wire up a microedge and have all the functions work properly I would go with it.

If you'd like to see the install instructions just PM me your email address. I don't think Mike is trying to scare you into buying anything, he's just trying to make sure you know that there are other options out there. I agree sometimes simpler is easier but sometimes having a few safety features to rely on isn't a bad idea either, especially since this is your first time spraying. Thanks!

Just like nick was saying, that wasn't meant to be a sales pitch. It was just to show what other features are available as everyone else was noting. The wiring really isnt bad at all, no more complicated then the msd box unless you are doing multiple stages

i have 2 used msd switches with pills, dynotune a/f shutoff, and a Nitrous Outlet Digital Dual Window Switch for sale. the a/f shutoff and NO window switch have been hooked up on the car but never used while spraying. i will warranty everything working for 1 month after you receive them minus shipping costs of ~$10. hit me up and i'll see what i'm willing to part with them for.

i'm looking to go microedge myself but don't need any of it right now since i haven't sprayed for over a year. :sad:
