Concerns About Nitrous

my buddy bought a NOS system for his LS1, and needed a few minor parts, and his buddy gave him a crapload of extra nitrous parts, pretty much enough parts to make a whole nother system. So my buddy wants to put nitrous on my car, and I didn't build my car with nitrous in mind, so I'm kind of worried of what it might do to my car..

Concerns:
1. My torque converter, its not build for boost or spray, its a B&M
2400 holeshot without the antibalooning plates

2. Ignition, its a stock distributor with an accel coil, 8.8mm wires, and obviously I would need colder plugs if I ran nitrous, so my current plugs don't matter

3. Bottom End - I have an all stock bottom end, but its been freshened up with new replacement parts.

4. Fuel System - I do have 26# injectors, but stock fuel pump

What I'm working with here is a HSR 350 with about 375-400 horse, and I'm wanting to run a 75 shot or so. What do you guys think. Yay or Nay?

125 or 150 ...you think it would handle that? one slip up from the ignition my motor would be done. You think my bottom end would handle all of that?

thats why I went conservative with saying a 75 shot..

if your motor is in "good" condition, you can run a 100 shot all day long with the proper tune and thats still conservative for a mild 350. I've seen a guy spray a 125 shot on a 128k mi. 305 for three seaons straight and this one will make his 4th, and he has no plans of making any changes to the motor. Tune it for the spray and have fun!
