I beams are generally preferred for higher rpm applications.
H beam rods hp rating.
Our engineering team created this new patent pending 3 pocket design specifically for demanding turbocharged supercharged and big nitrous applications.
Additional material can be added to the design to further strengthen an i beam but in some cases that may push overall weight closer to that of a comparable h beam.
All other variables being equal h beam rods are the strongest design whether you choose h beam or i beam overall strength and reliability is dependent upon the material weight and cross section of the rods said nick norris of callies performance products.
Their 2 piece forged vacuum degassed 4340 certified steel construction provides outstanding strength while still weighing much less than stock rods.
High performance connecting rods rod report.
Free your engine s horsepower on the wings of eagle h beam connecting rods.
Some say h beams look heavier but can end up being lighter than some i beam designs but not.
Each rod is multi stage heat treated x rayed sonic tested magnafluxed.
I beam rods are easier to produce and can sometimes be lighter than h beams.
These connecting rods are ideal for today s high horsepower engines and provide 60 more bending strength compared to common h beam rods.
