Default nitrous question...what can the head withstand?

i'm going to be building a motor for nitrous...a lot of it.

now obviously the block is going to be sleeved with forged rods n pistons to withstand the pressure. but what about the head? will anything help keep the heads somewhat cool and not heat up the valves too much. i've heard of people spraying enough to lock up the valves because of all the heat. is this a concern?

btw...150-200 shot on a b18c1
