No. It will shit out once you are over 400hp at the wheels. It may last a while but it will die. If I did it all over again I would build my trans first.
Proformance part?

I ran a ~100 HP tune on a stock transmission for almost 2 years, and it was not as fun as you think. Passing people was a nightmare! I had to downshift ahead of time, because it'll limp on the shift, then hope I don't need to go faster than 80, because it will limp 5th no matter how careful I was. And I couldn't just roll into the power on the freeway, because 5th would slip and then limp. It was a blast from 0 to 80 though!
My vote: get an exhaust, lift pump, and efi live first. Then IMMEDIATELY start saving for a built trans. You WILL need it, sooner than you think.
After having a mild tune and stock trans, I would agree that a built trans and stock tune would have been more fun. It sucks to be afraid to go WOT on your truck, and to have a hard time passing.
Of course, do what makes sense to you, but that is my $0.02.

I definitely wouldn't waste my time putting a downpipe in until the trans was out to get built. It's not worth it in my opinion.
