RE: Rods

not positive...but i read in more than one place that Is have more strength and durability and will last longer under high boost/CR apps.

RE: Rods

As long as the cross sectional area is the same, they both have pretty much the same absolute strength. However, H-beams have an advantage in resisting the rotational torque applied by combustion.
