Will stock tuneport hold a 100HP nitrous shot?

I want a system from NOS, but they only have a kit for 100-125 HP shot. I dont want a shot this big nor do I know if it'll hold it. Nitrous works has a 50-150 adjustible one but I dont know about the costs. Any ideas? I wouldnt use the nitrous very much at all. Maybe 2 or 3 times a week MAX.

------------------
Bright red 87 GTA with 350 tuneport. Basic mods such as K&N filter, Flowmasters, Wells MAF, TPIS air foil, Accel 8.8mm plug wires with Bosch platinum plugs, Accel distributor cap and rotary buttons.Gutted cat. Hope to port runners and plenum in about 2 weeks.

It's not the intake system that doesn't "hold" the nitrous it's the bottom end. Pistons, rods, crank.. etc. A stock 350 can do 100 without a problem. People usually go for 150.

2 or 3 times a week is a lot, haha! Yes the engine will handle a 100 shot pretty easily, but your trans probably wont.

Sheesh. 2 or 3 times a week? You'll be refilling that bottle alot. A stock bottom end will hold 100 to 150 shot, no problem.
