Tom Lieb from Scat was a guest speaker at one of our club meetings some time back and he said exactly what you've heard from Brent regarding H beam rods. They're heavier and not necessarily stronger. A rod fails when it suddenly changes direction at the top of the stroke with all that weight hanging on the end. An I beam rod is fine. The only way to insure rod life at high RPMs is to use the lightest piston and pin you can get.
