Can it be done? Yes...
Should it be done? Maybe depending on what you're trying to do.
First off the kit will need to be changed to run Methanol vs. Racing Gas. You may need to change the internals in your fuel solenoids to withstand the Methanol. You may also have to change the sizing of the holes in your spray bar (not just the jetting) to get the proper N/F ratio.
Now depending on the amount of N2O you're spraying it will vary whether or not it's recommended to do this. At higher HP levels when you get that much volume of fuel in the cylinder it's not uncommon to have issues getting it to fire cleanly. Most racecars running on methanol using a lot of N2O inject the nitrous with race gas.
If you're just using a small amount of N2O for finish line racing I'd say run it on Methanol to keep your system simple, if you're spraying more stay with the race gas.
Either way check with your system manufacture for the proper tune-up.
