Default Nitrous on stock internals

i have a 90 Mustang GT heres whats done to it so far, trickflow upp/low manifold polished, BBK 75mm TB w/ spacer, Granatelli mass air meter, 24lb injectors, F303 cam, Mac CAI, underdrive pulleys, Accell ignition, MSD distributor, BBK shortys, BBK h-pipe, flow super 40 w/ 2 1/2" exhaust, Vemon Performance Module, BBK fuel pressure reg, walbro 225lph fuel pump, KB hypereutic pistons. i bought a edelbrock performer nitrous kit for my car, some people tell me that it will take that small shot of nitrous all day, others say it wont last past 2 or 3 bottles. i dont know much about nitrous, n im looking for opinions. My second ? is will i lose HP by running open headers? i know alot has to do w/ compression mine is 10:1, n im really considering running open headers

First of all you contradicted yourself when you said can you run nitrous on stock internals and then you go on to say to have Keith Black pistons. The stock internals were forged which if I'm not mistaken can take a small shot of nitrous without trouble.
