Direct port nozzle securing

I have a pretty cool idea for a direct port system on a intake manifold, and I would like to know what would be the best way to secure the direct port nozzles in a composite intake. I don't think just drilling and tapping would hold the nozzles in good enough. What are some options that I have? Would love to a have a system to this extreme.
Thanks

I just drilled/tapped mine in the Fast 92mm and used a little liquid thread sealer on the threads of the nozzles, has held up fine.

Ok so the plastic will hold up just drilling and tapping the nozzles.

I don't know any other way besides drilling and tapping. Pics included. Old pic, stand alone fuel line has been re-routed & now have 100mm lid & Maf.

We have done more plastic intakes than I can recall. You are correct some intakes are thin and you better get it right the first time. But when done properly they work fine and will do the test of time. Check out the intake gallery on our website.
