About this item

Product details

This Switch will supply then remove ground to a circuit.;

These RPM-Activated Switches will perform a variety of different functions from turning on a bulb or solenoid to activating an MSD Timing Control at a desired rpm.The RPM-Activated Switch, PN 8950, has two activation wires; one to ground a circuit and the other to open a circuit. Simply plug in an rpm module and wire the Switch to the circuit you want to activate. When the engine rpm reaches that amount, the circuit is activated and will remain on until the rpm falls below that amount.The RPM Window Switch, PN 8956, has two rpm adjustments; one to activate a circuit, while the other deactivates the same circuit. Removing ground to a circuit is a great feature to deactivate NOS before the engine's rev limit is reached. Both Switches can be used with stock inductive ignitions or an MSD Ignition and can handle up to 1.5 amps. No rpm modules are supplied so they must be ordered from the selection of Modules shown on page 124. For use on 4, 6, or 8-cylinder engines.;

Works very well in my '98 Tahoe

Works extremely well. White lead on the unit to the white (tach) lead from the ECM. Two sub-$100 RPM switches tested similarly, didn't work; support said electromagnetic interference, saw none at all on a good oscilloscope. This unit highly recommended. Am using it with the 8677 adjustable RPM module, because I need to trigger at about 1100.
