H-Beam/I-Beam

So these are the 2 types of rods correct? And H-beam is the "On a budget" rod? What are the differences between the 2, and how would it handle with a good boost from a blower.

i think the I beam ones can hold out more RPMs and the H more boost/power. i don't remember which is which now. i WAS researching them and was going to get a new shortblock, but got a house instead. [&:]
