I would say don't go higher than 11psi surge without going to a bigger intercooler and beefed up internals.
If you do any nitrous setup for FI, go wet shot. Dry shot is not recommended for boost.
I'm not entirely sure if a 50 shot will be enough to break the engine/tranny, however it is a shock to the engine and will probably break it over time on stock internals.
My gut here says if you want 260hp, prepare to do at least the rods, head bolts, and maybe the pistons.
The only other options I see is you could ramp up the boost to 11psi, do up the head, add cam gears and get it tuned on a dyno.
As for the nitrous, it is legal to have all the hardware hooked up, just illegal to hook up the bottle while on the street.
