Default Nitrous Install

I just purchased a NOS Nitrous Kit to install on my 1985 Corvette. I was told that a fuel pressure switch and a window switch would be a safe way to install nitrous. I think I will use the 15686NOS fuel pressure switch. The windows switch is a bigger decision. I have my choice narrowed down to four choices: a DynoTune one stage window switch with TPS ($109); Summit window switch SUM830452 ($49.99); Granatelli window switch fome Jegs that has settings for two windows with TPS ($86.99); and a unit offered by Harris Speed Works - HSW MicroEdge Nitrous Controler - that has two window switches, TPS activation switch, A/F fuel shut down that works off the O2 sensor. Are any of you using any of these? Tips on installing? Would you pick up your RPMs by tapping into the tack terminal distributor wire? Any help will be appreciated.

I'm using this one from Nitrous Outlet but I have a LT1 so the wiring may be different.

Thanks for the information. Are you using a fuel pressure switch?
