Good morning Jeff, Kirk and all,
I'm not a nitrous user, but I'm thinking the EGT's might be on the extreme high end and could cause exhaust valve face and seat erosion. Exhaust valve guide wear or loose clearances could be contributing factors. Like a " stacking of clearances " and the possibility of the valve springs fatigue and pressure loss causing the exhaust valves to bounce once they are trying to seat I would think should all be taken into account.
What condition was the engine in when the customer started using N20?
If it was " seasoned / used " there may have been underlining conditions that were exasperated once the "bottle" was used. The quality of the exhaust valves themselves can also be a factor.
No definitive answer, just food for thought, I hope this helps.

Respectfully,
