Default LE2 Heads and Nitrous

Anybody running LE2 heads with nitrous about 100? Stock bottom end. I'm on the fence on if it'll hold. I'm leaning towards the ***** gonna break side.

A well sorted LE2 setup should be making about 500 at the crank NA.
600 hp with the 100 shot is not going to break a stock bottom LT1 if built and tuned right.
How "stock bottom" is this engine? Factory build / high mileage........forget it. Quality rebuild by a PROFICIENT mechanic, including resized rod ends, etc. ..........then it all depends on the competency of the person tuning it.

Engine is original. I'm planning Le2 heads in the future and would like a little juice for those days at the track when good enough isn't gonna cut it. I was wondering if I should plan on a rebuild then or not.
