Post Recomended window switch?

I have a 5177 kit coming my way , hopefully be he by next week. And was looking for recomendations on a window switch. I really like harlan's , no pills needed switch , and its only $50 bucks. But I keep hearing about guys haveing to wait almost 2 months to get theirs. I want to be able to use the kit before then. Then there is MSD but it is expensive, and you have to buy pills for it. These are the only two windows switches I could find. Are there any other options?

Those are the only two i've heard of, as it seems window switches are relatively new concepts to people who use nitrous. No one I talk to outside the ls1 world seems to know what they are. Anyway, I have the MSD window switch, and the extra money's worth the added assurance. Heres hoping you find what you're looking for..

The two most common are the MSD and the nx window switch.The MSD runs around 85 dollars then you need to buy the pills.The NX is made by MSD and comes with a relay and wiring harness with 2 pills.It runs 129.00.Mallory is suppose to be releasing a new window switch that will not need pills.I havent received any yet.

you can buy the switch already modified for LS1 use for 130 from tbyrne--->. It cost a lil more, but its quicker.

Yeah, MSD says that if you do that it will work for awhile, but because of the different voltage or whatever eventually it will burn out or something like that.

I'm not sure if that's true or not, but that's what I read from them. I'm in this dilemma myself as I need a window switch, but I'm not sure what to get....

Hey Dave, does the NX switch come with just 2 pills or 2 pill sets? Is it more expensive than just buying the MSD and pills for it seperately? Thanks.

Teh cut the wires works on MOST ls1's, but some have trouble with it.. on the other site, there is a lot of inforamation on this topic.
