4L80E input shaft curious if there has been much breakage or failure with the input shaft-i see stronger ones out there, or heat treated, but i thought the stock ones were larger than a 400, and they took a pretty good beating-what power level do you really need to think about it-i ran over 620 RWHP thru my last one, but it wasnt a track car, although i prob put 30-40 passes on it with drag radials
my newest project will have a Procharged 496, although a budget engine, but will prob have more torq than the LS engine had-gonna start out with the old switch pitch 400, then as $$$ allows build one of my 4L80E's i have
since the 4L80E was only used in larger trucks with higher weight maybe thats where some of the problem was?

We like to install a billet shaft in anything over 750 FWHP or TQ. Less for N2O or heavy combos.
Imo the forward hub goes in anytime the input shaft gets upgraded as well.
