I think I read somewhere online that someone had deleted the balance shafts, and found no detectable change in power output, but it was a hell of a lot rougher.
Do you have a 1ZZ-FE? All I know is that my 1ZZ powered car vibrates like crazy... no balance shafts would sorta explain that.

3000rpm at 80mph is 1500rpm at 40, 2250rpm at 60mph. That's pretty good gearing...I can't think of another 4 cylinder car with a longer cruising gear than that. The CL is not even a very small car either.
