You have a long way to go before you have to worry about breaking stuff. There are plenty of supercharged cars running stock axles with no issues.

You will definitely benefit from some suspension upgrades. People often focus too much on just adding horsepower and never give any consideration to the fact that horsepower means nothing if you can't transfer it to the pavement. I would recommend both rear trailing arms and solid sub frame bushings but I know that isn't in everyone's budget. The Pfadt rear trailing arms will allow the rear suspension to respond more quickly and will increase traction and reduce wheel hop. The Pfadt solid sub frame mounts will lock in the rear sub frame which will improve handling in several ways while improving traction and eliminating wheel hop as well.

This video gives a good visual demonstration of the change.
