most guys remove them, another thing you might consider is switching to a six-bolt as it is stronger.

No worries. It happens. The only reason why you can't remove the balance shafts in the 420A is because, the 420A doesn't have them! (SCORE!)

There are some cool articles to read in the wiki on the subject. The www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Power is a good starting point. The first thing to go when you boost your stock 420A is usally the piston rings, so if you want to run more than 7-10psi through a 10cm^2 16G, you're going to want to build the bottom end. On the "Power Stages" page, you will find an article talking about what you need and help in the decision making process.

Good luck to you.
