Question Time bomb?

I have been running a 125 shot of NOS on a 100000 mile engine for a while now, and she's running strong a little smoke between power shifts. Nothing major just enough to stand out from the croud. I'm wondering if its worth while to swap valve springs and push rods (and related ie; stem seals ect.) or wait till I can afford a full rebuild.
Any one know of the first part(s) prone to brake down on NOS driven engines?

Only problem with driving it until you blow it is if you send a rod through the block. Then you'll be finding a new block as well. If you're going to go that route, just find a new block now and start doing the work and enjoy the current engine until the new one is ready.
