Default when to buy designated pistons for nitrous????????

if you build a 598-632 bbc and use the edelbrock 385 cnc heads, at what point do you need to buy pistons and wrist pins that are designated for nitrous use. i never plan on using more than a 100 hp shot of nitrous. Since i dont use over 100hp of nitrous, will a standard gas ported piston and pin combination designed for around 13.8 compression withstand that little nitrous. I have heard on another site that if you build the motor to run on strictly the motor without nitrous , that it will have a little more power than a motor built for a lot of nitrous when run just on motor. Why is this if this is a ture statement.
