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 went with the 3/8" rod bolts. Kicking myself now but I got them to fit. Just had to take off more than I wanted. I would like to be able to twist this thing to a safe 7,000 rpm and I was leery of using the smaller rod bolts with a 98mm piston. I'm sure they would have handled it in stride.
