So ive been holding out on removing my balance shafts but after tonight its gona be easy to get to in a few days... well i was changing my oil tonight and when i pulled the drain plug out more than just oil came out! Yeo the threads came out of the pan so now im goin to be putting a new pan on my car and was wondering if it would realy be in my best intrest to remove them or not? mods right now are FM wga, E.D. hard pipes, hks bov, AGP fmic, 3in. turbo back.

since you are going to have the pan off anyways, if you ever plan on getting around 400whp, you should take them out now so you don't have to do this in the future. all you really need to do is cut the chain and remove that and leave the shaft in place.

How bad is the vibration after removing them?

i haven't done mine yet because i just haven't had the time to do it, but from what i have read on here, it isn't too bad. a lot of people familiarize it to a slightly unbalanced wheel. others say that it is a bit more if you have solid mounts.

I just build my srt and got it back last night i got an agp tranny mount and took out the balance shafts and yes u notice a shake but to tell you the truth it feels a whole lot stronger and reliable. Haventt been able to punch it yet because still breaking in my motor but will keep yall updated

I just have my mounts filled in so I prob won't get a ton anyways. But just don't want it to be horrible.
