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 issue is all the material removal makes for a weaker rod than one that has a 5/16 bolt with less clearancing... Guess how I know.
The smaller bolt is no problem if you use an ARP 2000 custom aged bolt, or a SPS- CARR bolt. I have one engine with 5/16 bolts that puts down 595 RWHP at 35 PSI boost. The rod bolts are changed once per year. It's all in the combo! |
