Default Modification Time

I have a 2015 z51 manual that I bought last year. It's time to start upgrading the car this winter. I plan on going with the procharger setup that comes with a hand held tuner that I can upload a safe tune with. (going to do all the work myself) The following year I plan on adding meth and long tubes to go along with the procharger setup and then getting it tuned by a professional. What are the weak links that I should be worried about? From everything I read it looks like the bottom end will be fine and I should not need to upgrade any internals. What about the drive train? Rear end, axles? Should it be able to withstand the power? I'm from the Mustang world so still learning a lot about these cars. Any input would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

600 rwhp and under is safe. over 600 is harder on pistons ,and meth will be a must!
