Default Should I Delete Balance Shafts!

Im gonna have my TC apart in a couple weeks to have a little fun and was wondering if I should delete my Balance Shafts!! As of right now I have the Ingalls Stiffy and I just got my Energy Suspension Poly Motor Mounts in the other day and will be installing those in a couple weeks. I was wondering if I delete my Balance shafts and I already have the stiffy and will also have motor mounts how bad will my Vibrations be and if I were to delete them is there anything I should be cautious of. I really want to delete the balance shafts! Thanks guys :D I love playing with the TC!

Do you plan on building the engine any time soon? If so maybe if not a definite no.

people are doing in because they are building their motors not just for fun. Not like you are going to see any gains out of it.

your car do what you want with it

no his motor will gain a shake like ricky martin's.

without a proper balanced replacement crank all you will be doing is
waiting for your old crank to take a walk and kick the guts out of your engine...

this will suck..... a dsm scion.....hmmm

If you are not changing out any of the stock rotating assembly (pistons or rods) then do not bother with it.

I probably just wasn't paying close enough attention when reading the other posts about deleting balance shafts. Thats my fault.
