Default Driver train upgrade

I am looking for an upgrade for LS1 to LS3 fully forged with some head works and a mild CAM aiming for 600+ rwhp. I already have P1SC-1 blower attached to my LS1 and it is making 455 an RWHP with A4 auto on a 99 Vette with a Yank 3000 High Stall converter. Which part of the drain train I should upgrade next ? I am not taking the car to the strip and I am just looking for a very street-able machine to cruise in.

Being an auto and depending on mileage and previous usage, I'd recommnend considering transmission and diff as the top 2 things to consider followed closely by again depending on mileage and any previous abuse also the couplers in the torque tube.
