I took one down to testing years ago
When we tested our billet shafted drums I took two Art Carr hardened drums with me to test. The stock drum took 450 ft lbs of torque before the shaft broke at the splines.
The Art Carr drum was sent to me in two different fashions. The first one was hardened like what is sold today. It took 495 ft lbs before shearing at the splines.
The second one they had annealed. (This is a softening processs vs hardening.) It went almost 550 ft lbs and we were like , "hey, that is not bad" But upon removing from test fixture we realized that the splines had "twisted" almost 4 splines but did NOT break. So in essence the annealed one, (softer) went longer but still had failure as the splines twisted. I still have the test figures somewhere around here.
That drum is good for the everyday stoicker with MINOR bolt ons and not beaten on. If you are going to apply any power to it go with a billet shafted drum and be done with it. Ours were tested by a subsidery of Boeing and tested to 1397 ft lbs before they shut the machine down. Our Billet input shafts were tested to the same torque 1397 ft lbs. without moe than .001 of flex or twist. This I have backed up with facts.
There are two major supplies of this drum.
Ours is here and comes with the Center support and bearinged. We have not had 1 failure over 1000 pieces sold and in use.

Trust me and listen up. Go ahead and read the post at the top of the trans tech section labled Strengthening the 2004R and it will give you some insight into this product and piece.
Good Luck
