Default Nitrous and cam

I have a Z51 05 auto. I talked to a shop and he said he would install a cam and nitrous (HSW wet plate) for 2210 installed and tuned. I should be around 520 RWHP and maybe 600 RWTQ with a 100 shot. Im just a little scared of nitrous I dont want to damage my motor. Is it safe to do a 100 shot to make those numbers? Will I face problems in the future? Should I just go on and do this Mod and enjoy my new found HP?

alright, did you include a window switch? motor should be fine as long as its tuned correctly, your probaly gonna encounter problems with your torque conveter after awhile.

I was going to do a 125 on my setup but they said you'd have 600rwtq on a 100 shot? doesnt sound right but yea you should be fine. As far as facing problems in the future, thats as good as your tune, if you have wheel hop etc. Just mod and go... if you havent bought a nitrous kit, I have one for cheap.
