I like the flexibility of the digital, you don't need a bunch of pills to change the settings....

Default MSD window switch

Digital here as has been said more flexible you don't need a bunch of expensive pills.

For testing you Nitrious system you can set to on at 500rpm, Cycle only takes about 5 seconds from when you switch ignition on.

Mine is mouted under the hood so you have a Tach readout when I'm messing with stuff under there.

By the time you buy the pill kits there the same price anyway!

WE carry many different window switches. I have also used just about all of them. You will not find a better window switch than this digital one.

Definetely go with a digital one. There are quite a few on the market and the have a wide range of features.

If you are only wanting a window switch with no other features, MSD makes a good one that has a digital read out and is adjusted via buttons on the face of it (part number MSD8969).

If you are wanting something will a few added features I don't think there is a better unit that Dave's Trick Window Switch. You can see all of its features in the link he posted above. Plus, this unit is only slightly more expensive than the MSD digital window switch but you get ALOT more features.

Either way, digital is the best way to go.

I like the digital I have, you need to have it on 4 cyl though, and no 1st gear lock out!!! BOO, but works great for what it is.
