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?

The magic number for a reduced BC on a T4 cam with up to .390" lobe lift is 1.045"
I can make the rods clear with 1 gram removed from each corner as long as they use 5/16" bolts instead of 3/8". This combo will drop in, generally. |
