Default Best controller with built in window switch/ timing control?

Well, my MSD digital WS took a **** (imagine that.) and its time for a controller. Who of the sponsors has a controller, with 1st gear lockout, WS capability, and also the ability to pull timing when the nitrous hits?

I am not biased as i own parts from Nitrous outlet, Dynotune, and a ton from HSW. Any opinions or options are welcome along with testemonials. Thanks everyone!

I use both the HSW interface and the HSW microedge, the interface to pull the timing and add fuel, and the microedge for the gearlockout/afr shutoff/windowswitch/pedal delay/etc. I think the microedge is one of the best things out there, especially for the price

Ya, i love the microedge/interface. and they look like awesome products. but are there any controllers that do it all?

What about this bad boy for the WS, gear lockout?

looks cool, i personally dont have any experience, looks like it does have a pressure gauge and progressive controls that the HSW combo doesnt have, The ME however has the ability to store multiple files and quickly switch between them (ie one file for when you want to hit the n2o off the line and another file for when you are already rollingm i like this and know i will use it a lot) Also the ME has several other useful delays that are realy nice and useful such as the pdeal delay (if you have to feather the throttle for traction you can delay the hit coming back on to give you time to hook up again)

Either way they both look like good options, looking as HSW's site though it looks like the ME and interface are on sale, and would be $325 together, so just a lil cheaper. That NO piece does look nice, i just know there are a lot of people on here and other boards (my self included) using the HSW combo with great results, tips, and advice.

Well I'm no expert but you should do some research on what I have its called an FJO box. Its about the size of a single sparkplug box and takes care of everything windowswitch,gear lock out,progressive controller its great and you can easily change everything because it comes with an easy to download c.d. for a laptop and once downloaded you can just enter what you want then connect it to the FJO box and after about 5min all done and ready to roll. Just some food for thought good luck.

I like my Timing tuner.
It doesn't have 1st gear lockout but it does have a delay

Yup, the timing tuner does have a built in window switch and timing control. If you don't need the gear lock out, it would be an option.

At the moment they are out of stock. If you're dead set on it, give full throttle speed and sound a call. They might have them in stock. I think they retail around $250. If you can't find the timing tuner, the Interface and MicroEDGE package comes in a little higher than that. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

I don't think there is a single box (outside of XFI) that controls everything you want. You would not be disappointed if you piggyback a MicroEdge and Interface though. Combined, it's not much more than the FJO ot Timing Tuner

Currently there is not a box that offers it all. I would look for a controller that does not use the Iat for timming controll. At this time the lingerfelter is my favorite option.
