You can but why would you want to. Back in the late 90's everyone was spraying ls1's with stock plugs.

When I first got my kit I put in 55 jets to start with the stock plugs and sprayed away.
Few months later I went with 75's and still sprayed with stock plugs.
Before jumping to a 100 shot, then the 125 shot I swapped out the factory plugs.
There was NO SIGN whatsoever that the plugs were running hot.
Still look good as new. Still have them, and if I ever decide to get rid of my Zex kit they will go back into the engine.
Robert 56 knew a guy who ran a 100 shot [ at the wheels] for a full season on stock plugs w/o issue.
Also, I believe NOS kits say in their instructions that you can run stock plugs for up to a 100 shot.

Just cause 1 guy did it and it did not hurt anything don't make it right. Hell guys have been 9's on 10 bolts and 4l60's but i wouldn't go telling guys to do it.

THe point is it might take what 45 minutes to change plugs and $20 if your that poor or lazy you don't need to fill your nitrous bottle!
