That's like asking how many RPMS you can turn before you start burning out. There is no one absolute number. It depends on your tune, how you use the nitrous (out of the hole, from a roll, with a progressive controller, etc), how often you use it etc.
Terminator (on this board) uses a similar cam (in that it's really large, the LSA is higher) on his stock motor with a 200 shot of nitrous. He has a bunch of passes on it and to the best of my knowledge no damage.
On the other hand, a lot of people here bust ring lands on mild shots with no cam. There was also another company (forgot who it was) that tested a kit on a stock GTO and blew the headgasket pushing 200 or 250HP out of the hole on the first run. That should be somewhere around a well tuned T-rex with a 100-150 shot but they have the better motor.
