I recommend against nitrous though, it's not good for any engine because of the extreme amount of heat it generates and the large amount of friction from rapidly increased RPMs.
Nitrous= 1000 miles wear per 1 second of burn, though I'm sure someone will argue with this, it is a known fact.

I have used N2O on many different platforms and have never seen any substantial evidence that your theory is true. Nitrous oxide is simply an oxidizer allowing more oxygen to fit in the same area. It doesnt add friction....it doesnt increase RPM(I still stay well below my 9500rpm redline)....and it is adjustable......so stress on the engine is a function of the amount of nitrous oxide being used.....for example:
a 100hp shot on an LS1 V8 will have less stress than a 300hp shot....thus your 1 second to 1000 mile theory cant hold true considering the stress variable. (I also added up all of my seconds of use just for you... im at right around 245 total seconds....thats 24,500 miles according to your theory...guess my motor is worn out now. LOL
)
AND Nitrous actually COOLS as its sprayed(depressurization)....it doesnt cause any heat related issues.
That being said it does require a careful user to be safe....
Detonation can occur when used improperly.....and too much nitrous will eventually help you find the strength limits of your piston/rod......
