Default Billet input shaft

Hey fellas,at what point do I have to upgrade to a billet input shaft?I currently have a stock 47RE with engine mods listed in my signature.I do plan on upgrading my converter because the stock one seems way too loose and my valve body.I also plan on upping output a bit by upgrading to some 90HP injectors and maybe a larger turbo if my EGT's become difficult to control.This is my daily driver which on occasion pulls an 18k trailer and see's the odd boosted launch just for ****$ and giggles. Any thoughts?Thanks.

Frank

I wouldnt worry about an input shaft with an auto

Edit: A converter and shift kit would be a good start

I'v always heard 500 as the magic #. When I get my trans built it will have billet input and output shafts then I don't have to worry about it.
