Default Modified MSD Window Switches now available!

This RPM Activated Switch enables you to activate and then deactivate a circuit at adjustable rpm points. This is a great feature for engines using nitrous systems so the nitrous can be turned off just before the high rev limit of the engine. The Switch will provide a ground to activate a circuit and can handle up to 1.5 amps. The rpm levels are easy to adjust with the same plug-in modules used with other MSD rpm controls. It can be used on stock inductive ignitions as well as high performance capacitive discharge controls.

You used to have to send the regular switch into MSD to be modified for use with the LS1 motor. We have taken care of this step so the switch will be ready for installation when you receive it. The modified version is $129.99. You can save $50. if you purchase this along with any NOS or Nitrous Express kit. Just note this offer when you place your order.

Isn't this the same MSD RPM window switch that I just bought from A-tech for $80, which allows me to set the activation rpm at WOT (say, 3200 rpm) and the deactivation rpm at the just below the rev limiter (say, 6200 rpm)?

Isn't this the same MSD RPM activiation switch that A-tech and Summit sell, which has start and stop settings?
That's what I was wondering. That's how my mallory works and I thought they were all the same.

its similar, but these are made/modified for the LS1's 5 volt tach signal.

where normal ones are for a standard 12 volt.

most people have no problem with the standard one, but some do.

If you can buy the one MADE for your car, why risk it? Worth buying the right part the first time.
