Compression doesn't affect a nitrous motor the way it does a turbo motor because the nitrous is not pressuring the intake like a turbo does. 13:1 is not going to be a bad thing if you are wanting to run nitrous.
As far as blowing head gaskets, I don't think I have ever heard of a "rule of thumb" for not blowing them. There are lots of different things that can cause a gasket to pop such as warped head, warped block, weak gasket, uneven sealing caused by uneven torqueing of the head, and detonation (which can be caused by several different things).
