Re: balance shaft
lance said you dont need it. I want to just remove the chain for now.
I guess you would see a .1 increase in the 1/4 mile, as it weights 10lbs of moving weight, thats powertrain drag.2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC!

Re: balance shaft
100 lbs = ~.1 sec in the 1/4, not 10 lbs.Comment

Re: balance shaft
That's for dead weight.Originally posted by NOS2006
10lbs of rotating mass also equals about .1 in the quarter.
As far as needing it if you remove it you will need to fill the oil hole in the block as well as having everything externally balanced to compensate for removing it, but for a hardcore build up it's something most will do!Comment

Re: balance shaft
Oh, well the way he worded I thought he meant it was 10 lbs of rotating mass, equaling only 1 lb of static weight. That thing seriously weighs 10 lbs?!Originally posted by NachiusComment

Re: balance shaft
what do you mean externally balanced?? are you talking about the accesories like air conditioning and power steering? I ripped out all of my air conditioning components and am ripping out my power steering as we speak. i also have poly engine mounts will that make a difference?Originally posted by Nachius96 3.8 red camaro. <br />headers,cam,valve springs,retainers,auburn lsd,3.73 gears,SLP cold air,accel coils,24lb injectors,8mm plug wires,air temp module,LT1 diveshaft,removed a/c,edelbrock torque arm,spohn LCA\'s and PHRComment

Re: balance shaft
i worded it correctlyOriginally posted by NOS2006
i did mean 10 lbs of rotating mass, which does not equal 1lb of static weight
its 8-10lbs of static rotating mass
I dont think you even have to worry about balancing. Lance said that he didnt really notice a difference with it on/off.2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC!

Re: balance shaft
if you REMOVE the balance shaft you have to take out the motor and plug a oil hole...Originally posted by Timmy
you can how ever just remove the gear and leave the shaft sit in the motorwww.turbov6camaro.com
