Engine good(reliable) for nitrous?
 
N2O:
100-150 shot of nitrous wet sys.
Eng:
What would have to be done to a stock LS1? (to be reliable and not have to worry about damage?
Would this engine be good?
Or should I look into getting forged internals?

Looking at not so much a daily driver but every other day and only sprayed every once in awhile. If I go stock LS1 I will be upgrading the basics ie no machine work req.

Any help/advice is appreciated.

why bother? stick a cam in it and go single digits!

seriously though just a good tune, colder plugs, and some timing pulled along with the basic nitrous necessities (window/wot switch, fpss switch, etc.) and you can rock that no problem. i'd look into the nitrous outlet's plate systems too.

Stay w/ the 100 shot..throw that on a bolt on car and you'll have a runner.

Stand alone fuel system with 116 or higher in it, and spray a 200 shot.

You'll be fine with a 150 shot on a stock bottom end. Just make sure it's setup right

Walbro 255 fuel pump and a tune with some colder plugs.

That engine has hyper pistons. People spray on them all the time, but they are less forgiving than forged slugs.

Wait, I'm a little confued... your asking about spraying a stock LS1 and you posted a GENI smallblock stroker?

a STOCK LS1? I would do colder plugs, for a 150 shot to be safe, I would go TR7's or a non projected tip plug, A tune or something like a Timing Tuner or Lingenfelter Launch controller to aid with timing so you can run normal timing the rest of the time. Fuel pump, and send it.
