Im no expert but I would say if the piston rings are still good (keeping compression well) I would try a 50 dry shot and move up form there.
I mean I know nothing about nitrous but my thought would be if the rings are fine do it

As long as the motor is still in good shape you should be fine. Think of it this way, if there's a problem in the engine, N2O will help you find it.

I told my LT1 at the start of the summer because I got an LS1. The car got heads/cam at 135k miles and the new owner started spraying it 100 at 150k miles and last I knew it was running mid 7's in the 1/8 strong as ever.

why is it gonna go boom?

i see lt1's with 150k+ running heads/cam/nitrous, what i would suggest is getting a new timing chain/gears, new valve springs, check the pcv system, check your fuel filter, probably wanna get a new fuel pump, get a kit and spray 150 for the next 50-100k miles
