I agree with Andy. My 99th-percentile gauge of do-I-need-something-stronger is Jr Wilson's 900 bhp Boss 429 in his Silver State Pantera. The only part he broke in a ZF was the clutch input shaft when he got "big-air" at 200 mph and didn't back off the gas when landing. As for engine bits, are you planning on living forever? Prolonging the life of stressed parts is the main feature of cryogenic treatments, and most Panteras will never, ever see stresses that make such NASCAR-level treatments valuable. Sure- go ahead if you have extra money as it will probably do no harm.
I guess unless you are intending to operate at the extreme edge of the
performance envelope, you really have to ask yourself why on earth
would you need it given the proven durability of existing quality
component production techniques.....
