Default Stage 1 future reliability?

Hello everybody, I have a 2016 A6 3T with 40k miles. I am curious about a stage 1 tune. Im not sure what company to go with yet. What I am really concerned with is the potential for decreased future reliability. How well can the engine handle ~ 430 crank HP in the long run? The 3T is stock with 330 HP so would I have to strengthen anything internally to be able to keep reliability the same? I have heard of how tough this motor is if one maintains it properly and I would not want to hurt it in the long run. Thank you

Thank you for the response, if you dont mind me asking, how long ago did you tune it? Any reliability issues? And the A8L is the 4L v8 correct?
