I never claimed you couldnt/shouldnt run it on a 99GT.

I seen a 90 coupe have a backfire where it shot out throttle body so hard that it pushed the passenger side fender out about 1/2 an inch. Yet his GT-40 intke was unscaved.

Everyone will eventually run into a problem running nitrous no matter how safe you try to be. Knowing that I personally wouldnt want a big chunk of plastic sitting on top of my engine.

If you were to spend the extra cash for a really safe system and purchase the remote bottle opener, Heater, purge etc... You could have bought a supercharger for the same money.
