Im debating building an input shaft... I could build it myself and have it treated... But I dont know if its necessary... I also dont want to find out if it is, so im still on the fence. Ill have to make a decision soon I guess.

if the input shaft breaks it won't damage anything will it? i mean there will be metal shards that will need to be cleaned out but other than that it should be fine other than a tear down.
if it where me i think i would make one and have it on hand encase the original bites the dust or if you deiced to bore it out more and try to get even more flow out of it.

Why would there be metal shards? If it breaks, it will be a clean twist off.

Then we can't find a shop to calibrate it.
The shafts will either break/twist on the bench or they wont. Its not something that is going to fatigue over time and break.

why would you have to calibrate it replacing the shaft? it only has one output on it doesn't it?
i would think that you would have to re cal it after replacing the barrel, not the input shaft
unless you have to pull it completely to put the shaft in?
