Default Driving impressions balance shaft on/off??

I am getting ready to do my h2b swap and want to know how bad the vibration is with the belt off or balance shafts removed. Is it just in the pedal you can feel it or the whole car? This will be my DD and i would like the extra HP but dont want it to shake all over the place. Im looking for people that have drove with them on and off

i believe its proven to give something like 2 hp and 3 tq just by removing the belt, but don't quote me on that. im just going off what i think remembering having heard. i know by using the kaizenspeed kit you increase your oil pressure, which is a good thing. as far as the extra vibration...i'll tell you in a bit when i get my car running

if it makes you feel better, the F22C1 (2.2L S2000 motor) runs the same stroke with no balance shafts.
