I doubt Charles will be around....
ZPI is running this already, just hasn't released the kit to the public... (They do a lot of R&D first, which I appreciate a lot)
Most of the time, in the other makes and models. it's removing the oil pan and working in there... Not crazy hard. When the tC kit comes out... I'll give you a good ** out of 10 on difficulty.

no longer have a use for them man. My buddy has the motor now and he has a high flow head already. You should be able to get rid of the 086 head no problem...the block on the other hand...probably not as easily. Go post it for sale at www.j-body.org. I'm sure someone will pick it up from you.

I have been reading that on other cars only the oil pan is needed to remove. I have seen from 3whp to all they way to 10whp. When I sse a dyno of this I will jump on it like a junkie on meds.

I picked up 20 wheel on low boost on my srt, and vibration did not change at all. I just removed the chain and left the shafts in there. It seemed that if i were to take them out, I would have had to add like another 1-2 quarts of oil.

yeah as long as the balance shafts don't run anything else, you probably just remove the chain and leave the shafts. That way you are not driving them. Of course you still have the weight in there to carry around. The ones I removed from the LD9 GM motor were 15 pounds, and they incorporated the oil pump, so it required a lot more machining and what not to the block.
