Cougfan..
I doubt You will get more than 0.0004" change in this part on the OD (barely measureable with conventional micrometers).
CAUTION: carefully deburr/radius pin edges and the thru-hole "lips", 0.01"--0.03"R (0.02"-0.03"R recommended) to avoid "roll-over/distortion"... (slight bulging occurs where sharp edges are crushed down/out by the shot-blast stream).
Also, don't expect much of a peening affect in the holes beyond about 0.37 from ends... too deep.
