^ well it surely depends how much you want to spend and how much you want to get out of it. You will get some hp out of it but my view on the subject is different then a NA car owner.

If you're doing a custom NA cam, then yes, the headwork would probably be a good bet. Our flow test results showed that at lift of .45 and greater flow gains started to look really good. Of course, with a stock cam, you can't take advantage of any of this.

Here you go TCpete, the last 2 or 3 pages have some pics of the balance shafts removed.

Pete, in addition to the removal, you'll have to plug the galleys.
