Default how reliable is a 5.3 on juice

I'm looking at a car with a 5.3 and it has a 100 shot on it. Is the 5.3 strong enough to handle nitrous??

they use some different heads and intakes, but practically the same engine as a ls1, and with some mods to it can perform like them.

I would spray it without worries
