What are the advantages of H-Beam rods over stock rods in a 2.0L motor? I know the H-Beams are lighter and stronger but in terms of performance what are the advantages of using the lighter rods?

This is primarily for a street car. Maybe some auto x but 95% for the street. I have a set of KS flat top 94's but may bump it up to 96's for a 2056. I'm thinking of using a Webcam 494 cam and around 9:0 to 1.0 compression. I'll be running a pair of Dellorto 40's & SSI heat exchangers.

That cam won't make power over 6000rpm, H-beams are a waste of money. |
