I don't have a clue about spray, but I would think you couldn't go wrong with some ported trick flows on it. I'd just call one of the sponsors and ask them. Tell them exactly what you want to do and see what they have to say.
The LS3 heads will not go on the LS1 block because the bore is too small. LS1 is a 346 cubic inch engine (5.7L), LS2 is the same engine with a larger bore giving it more cubic inches (6.0L), it also has a slightly diferent manifold and the heads are basicaly the same except for the combustion chamber size, and the cam sensor is in a diferent spot. The LS6 is the same cubic inch as the LS1 (346) with a better intake, better heads, biger cam, more compression, better rodbolts, the rest is pretty much the same. Some of the 01 and 02 f-body's came with LS1's that had the LS6 intake on it.
The LS3 is a 6.2L engine (same stroke but even bigger bore), the heads have larger intake valves and the flow very well (they are what I run) but they will not fit on the LS1 block only because the bore is too small. The LS3 intake will not work on a LS1, LS2, or LS6. There is also a LS7, LS9, LQ4 and more. As far as nitrous goes on these engines stock, 150hp shot is not a problem for them. Do not think they will live forever with 150 shot, they all will eventualy crap out, but one is not any worst then the other as far as handling the shot.
If you are going to spray your LS? I would sugest getting a hold of one of the sponsors here and talking with them first. I see you are in Texas, there are several sponsors here located threw out Texas that can hook you up. I would advise finding one close to you that you can get your parts from AND bring your car to for tuning it afterwards.
Good luck and keep us posted.
