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?

I'm waiting for the 911/908 based horizontal fan for the Type IV...
I wonder how much HP that gear box for the fan sucks up! I doubt it is noticed much on the motor below...claimed 900hp + ! |
