Default MSD window switch or NOS window switch?

I am looking at the NOS window switch from Byunspeed.com that turns on at 3K and shuts off at 6K....Should I get a digital one from MSD? *I've heard of those going out?* Or just get a regular MSD one, or go with the NOS one?

I have an arming switch, and a micro WOT switch to go with it.

i bought that same switch through dave. its a very nice piece. just dont set the lower rpm limit to zero. i wanted to check my solenoids by simply turning on the key and arming the system. i fried that switch, but havent had a problem with my new one.

The MSD is a popular unit. However our Digital unit is built alot more durable. It is completely sealed and can stand the weather conditions.

Not only can it controll two stages but it also has a built in TPS and any gear lock out feature. THe lock out feature is great if you are traction limitied.

I would take that any day over the MSD unit considering its only around 30.00 more.

It has two channels (can do two stage systems) and each channel has a Gear lockout feature. The only one better I feel would be the FJO progressive controller ($200+), if your not looking for progressive control this one is the ticket. It has a built in TPS function too.

Dave beat me to it

Yes, Setting it two 0 can cause a hi frequency on and off over loading the window switch.
