Just my opinion:
oem/aftermarket I beam.....ok for mild performance build.
h-beam.....great high performance rod, would guess its in 90% of all 9-10 second bracket race style engines.
Billet (steel/aluminum/titanium)I beam...best in my opinion for builds beyond that 9-10 second range.

When I think of a race 11.5 to 1, 408 build, me thinks of a 4340 crank and h-beams.

no science , all gut here. up
