removal of balancer
I plan to remove the balancers of my 4G63 Evo engine. I heard the engine will be more responsive.
Can I have any advise if I really need to remove them for better performance in the road and track? Hope much power gain will I get when I remove the balancers?

Balance shaft removal has been a time honored tradition in the 4G63 community.... 
....Ok...seriously, though.
in order to really "enjoy" it, you'll need to have a balanced motor. One that has been taken apart and blueprinted, spec'ed, and tolerance matched. Yes, you can go the cheap route and not get this done, but expect your motor to cause a lot of vibrations that could lead to other problems (worn out drivetrain components, etc.). The best time to look at removing the balance shafts is when you are also planning to install forged this, ported that, balanced this, clipped that, lightweight this, strengthened that, etc.
