Personally, I only pull shafts when I build a dedicated race engine, or significant power house.

Professionally, I suggest keeping them in for daily drivers and mild builds. They really don't rob power (that you'll ever notice), I've never seen an actual balance shaft fail (belts do, though), and there really is no reason to delete them. It's a popular mod, but technically pointless unless you have built a race engine designed for use without balance shafts.

I've built with and without.... it makes little difference. Just use a stronger belt if you are worried about failure.

In addition, you can make your own balance shaft delete easily for about 2 bucks or less. If you cut the pump shaft off and weld the hole shut, you just made a stub shaft. If you pop and flip the bearings on the right shaft, you just made block offs. If you buy a cap or plug from the parts store, you just completed the balance shaft delete. It's really that simple.

pretty much sums it up...
