I use an MSD 6T. It works well.
MSD's are used by more racers than anything else. Why re-invent the wheel?

I have the Crane HI6 in mine. Very happy with it after 3 years. The reason I chose this is there are no chips for the rev limiter. It ahs rotary switches instead of the chips. It was a few dollars cheaper also.

I went with MSD because they have all the pieces. I also used their Distributor.
If I want an RPM activated switch, I know MSD makes one...
