What kind of system, a plate?
It definitely wouldn't cause restrictions for a plate, as the nitrous and fuel are sprayed into the intake plenum.
If you were talking a Sneaky Pete or something that sprays into the air cleaner, that's a different story (but those usually aren't as big as 100).
Your max RPMs shouldn't change with the nitrous (still a function of the cam).
So, a 600 CFM on a "mild" 350 will be fine, even with nitrous.
