Balance shafts...

Has anyone performed a balance shaft ass'y removal on the DOHC for the HP gain. Just curious on how worth it it would be. Babcox states it is good for 18-20 more HP. And GM performance sells the "de-weighted" shafts to retain the oil pump drive (but the whole ass'y can be removed completly if you are willing to find another source to drive the oil pump). Just curious for a potential next upgrade. Did a search, but all I came with is stuff for the Mitsubishi guys.
