Default what rpm window switch to get??

i recently bought a nitrous kit from a buddy and did some reading on how to make a lil safer. the kit came with a wot switch but i read that is not good to spray while the transmission is shifting (A4) so i want to get a rpm window switch but im not sure what brand to get. some input on this will be great. thanks in advance

NOS Is good. Don't bother with the Jegs one, a friend of mine had it and it wouldn't turn back on after shifts

I had been looking at MSD and NOS just wasn't sure if there was something out there that was better. Are rpm switch easy to install?

I know the NOS TPS/Window switch is easy to install. Let me know if you need any help with the wiring side of things.

I recommend the MSD 8969, it seems to work best on these cars, however, I have no personal experience with the NOS window switch. The MSD 8969 has never given us any problems.

So let me get this straight. You say the MSD is the best with these vehicles but have no personal experience with the other product. Thats good logic...

Is it the NOS15982? I like the fact that it has the tps and window switch together

I STRONGLY recommend getting a window switch. N2O is just too easily turned into a catastrophe, be safe!

I have the MSD 8969 which I bought used for $50 or so. I like it because it has a LCD RPM readout so you can be in your engine bay looking at the tach. It also easily connects to my MSD Digital 6 Plus ignition.

The NOS one sounds like it has the TPS built in which might be cool.

Just from experience I can say the MSD does work for me.

NOS15982 has digital readout of engine RPM, so you can see what rpm the engine is at while in the engine bay. Set up is incredibly easy, it works flawlessly, and has the TPS switch built in (though you don't have to use it if you don't want to). It is an extremely nice product.
