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.

think of it this way the plastic manifold it weaker yes butbut when a nitrous back fire happens just the manifold is toast(200$)
but with the old 5.0 you could(not always) lose the manifold,t/b,maf and filter
I have seen a 5.0 have a nitrous back fire and it blew the upper manifold through the hood and the same time taking out the fuel rails and lines cause one hell of a fire
I dont know where you can get a blower for a 96+ for 1-2g with all the things that need to go with it
nx kit with genx 2 upgrade plus all the safety stuff will cost alittle over a grand
nos nozzle kit with all the add ons would hit you for about 2300$
supercharger kit 3400-3800
maf 300
dyno tuning (cause anyone running the chip that came with the kit is asking for a new motor)500+
boost and fuel pressure gauges 300(fuel elec is almost 200)
and fuel injectors 400
thats a total of4900$
and if you stay with the chip the comes with the kit add 2999-3999
for total minus the dyno tuned chip 7400
just run in the low 12s high 11s
with 7400 I could have my car running 10s easy
buts thats just me
