My friend has an older nitrous kit (still sealed) he was thinking about trading me for a shifter. Anyways, its a Marvin Miller kit 150hp non-adjustable. Anyone know about these kits? Ive never heard of the company before.

Thanks, Chris.

I would find out if it has removeable jets, if so can they be interchanged with a current brand style of jet. If not you better just let them keep it. I can promise you don't need to run the tunes that come with it.

Marvin Miller, blimey I havent heard that name in a few years, that kit must be 15 plus years old. Marvin Miller was one of the early biggish names in Nitrous.

Sorry, can't help you with the kit, but technology has come a long, long way, since then

Marvin Miller was based in Whittier along with a couple other nitrous companies (Lazar/Lazer) back in the early/mid 80's. He was quite big in the n2o game back then. NOS was just starting up around that time in Signal Hill, CA.

We monkeyed with plenty of Marvin's kits. Re-drilling the spray bars, etc.

If the kit works, it works.

80's? I got mine in 78... A decent running 440 suddenly became a serious threat to all challengers..

Bolted it on my buddies 69 340 Cuda & it would light the tires at 50 mph... Till a piston turned sideways in the bore.....Time in a bottle...

I still have an old 175 shot Marvin Miller kit that I have had since I was in High School (mid 80's). It has a big ole 1" thick cast aluminum spray bar plate. Still works good. Its been on probably 15 different cars between me & all of my different buddies cars over the years.

Im hoping itll turn mine into a serious threat once its going.

I do like oldschool speed parts so it may just come home with me......funny that the kit is older then me

When I lived in Las Vegas back in 1980, Marvin Miller and Lazzar were real popular. If I remeber correctly you could pick up a kit at National Speed Center on Freemont street for under $200. Oh the good old days..
