Default Which window switch is best?
I am buying a used nitrous kit from a buddy of mine and he has both a MSD digital widow switch and a MSD window switch that uses the pills to adjust when nitrous comes on and off. I have heard some bad things about the digital one messing up and the one with the pills being my best bet but I have never used either. The digital seems alot more convenient. I can have either one. Has anyone had experience with either of these both good or bad. I need to make a decision in the next few days.

I've been using the MSD digital window switch for the last 4 years and it has never gave me any problems. Digital > pills

Is there any reason to go Digital over the one with the pills?
Any pros or cons?
Have a Pilled switch and looking at a digital.

I have the digital one and it has worked flawless for 3 years. Very easy to wire and extremely easy to set rpm points.

I'd run the digital out of the two. Much easier to setup and is programmable.

With the digital one you can program in the coil setting vs. cutting the loop wire in half to go to 4 cyl mode.
