Default So who else makes a window switch OTHER than MSD?

Title pretty much says it all. Tired of having a $1500 nitrous setup I can't use (unless its without the window switch, which is stupid to do). I've already sent the MSD unit back to them to have it "converted", after 4 hours worth of rewirng and testing, I am done with it. So, who else makes a window switch? Thanks fellas.

There's the harlan window switch. Works great for me. Much cheaper too.

The Harlan switch is the way to go. No stupid pills to worry about and it can be adjusted up to 12000 rpm if you needed to. Just simple dip switches.

I ordered mine a few weeks ago and got it in 3-4days.

Ramchargers Timing tuner...does timing retard/advance, nitrous delay activation, and RPM window switch...can be used in a "backward" capacity, meaning adjust motor to run on nitrous all the time (low timing), and use the timing tuner to add timing when off the bottle, tha way if the Timing Tuner ever goes bad, the worst case scenario is that the car is a couple tenths slower on motor...I have two, one on a 2004 GTO and one on a 2000 Camaro.

This thing looks nice. It allows you to have max HP N/A, then the nitrous switch activates your seondary nitrous settings. Sounds like a MSD digital 6 for LS-1's. I'm gunna have to look into this one.

I've been running the Ramchargers Timing tuner for about a year & it still works great.

I agree that Ramcharger unit and the BMN all have great capability, but all I want is a window switch. I already have a Cartek timing tricker on a switch for timing retard. And like I said, after all Ive been through, getting a product that I bascially already have one of, and have had flawless service from for years, thats just what the doctor ordered. And for $55 shipped, can't beat that with a stick.

The Timing Tuner's window switch settings are...

Minimum Range: 2000 - 5500 RPMs

Maximum Range: 5900 - 7400 RPMs.


I know this thread is a couple weeks old, just thought I would add the info just in case someone came across it in a search

I have a awd turbo talon and they have something called dsm link and it appears to do the window switch thing and more thru the ecu.Does hpp tuner or ls1 edit do the window switch thing also thru the ecu? I would think hpp tuners or ls1 edit would be able to do the timing retard on nitrous thing but mabye it can't compensate for off nitrous use.
