    Which one is best to use for high HP/torque and 8000rpm?

    Connecting rods H-beam vs I-beam

    Pauter “-+-“, Carrillo “H”, Manley “I” are all capable. Some may be more suited for long stroke or short stroke, turbo or boost, nitrous oxide.
    Wiseco three-pocket “I”, Crower titanium “I”, Carrillo aluminum “I”, you choose.
