at what whp will I need to get more durable pistons?

I'm planning on getting my car in for a cam install soon, and I already have got:
injectors (850)
LT 1-7/8
2.55 upper
CAI
stock lower
running on e85
car making 612whp/620wtq

are there any supporting mods I need to make to make sure my car stays safe?
thank you in advance!

You're going to run out of fuel. Especially on E85.

Would a fuel pump solve the issue?

The tune is key but many people make well north of 700whp. There are plenty that make 900-1100whp on the stock bottom. Is that a safe reliable power range? Probably not but a few have ran 1/2mile events at that power for years.
