You don't have to do anything to the mag.  Depending on the nitrous jetting, you may need to retard the timing a few degrees.  Which mag are you running?  I have a Mallory Supermag with an external transformer locked out and set at 30 degrees advance with no problems.  Non-nitrous timing is set at 35 degrees.  Generally speaking, a magneto is a perfect match for nitrous.

You don't have to do anything to the magneto itself, but you need to adjust the timing just like any other ignition under "boost".
And that would depend on how much you are going to "shoot".
