H beams can handle a lot more hp than i beams if your going for serious hp then go with h beams but if your going for a stock rebuild just go with the i beams cuz its less drag on the rotating assembly

Thats not entirely correct. You need to do more research. Both are strong upgrades, the I beams are really for High RPM cars, and a lot of FI guys go with them. They arent as robust as the H beams, but they can handle a lot of power aswell. The H beams are considered the safe bet and many people feel more comfortable with them.

cool thanks guys
so how much power could the i beam handle?
my plans are approx 11.0-1 cr, 383, and le2 h/c and a ported to match intake
its gonna be my daily driver so i can't go too too crazy on hp looking around 400-450 to wheel max
