I dont feel that its nessasary to remove the balance belt, however ppl will remove them for extra oil psi and less rotating mass, is said to help acceleration. they make a eliminator kit, i dont know where but search for it and your find it.
20 lbs less if you do a complete removal of shafts in ****.

its also said that w/ it removed you will get more vibration

 

im aware of the exess vibration. im just curious to the fact, will that vibration do any internal FUBARing to my motor after the manual tensioner swap?

 

In what i read it said no, the vibration would not cause any internal damage. they said above 6k is when the vibration would kick in.
In my opnion, the vibration would cause longevity issues. but i dont know.
