I'd say don't spray till the motor is fully broken in (people say 4k-6k miles), just to be safe. After that I would get a tune for a 125 shot, I've heard lots of people running 100shots on a stock tune with no problems, but it really isn't verysafe to do. A tune will retard the timing some to make the a/f ratioperfect for nitrous.

Just take a few degrees out of timing.You will be fine; Just make sure you run a window switch.

You should get a PI swap

But yea the motor should hold up fine. I was spraying a 100 shot for a while and upped it to a 125. -3 degrees of timing and no signs of trouble.
