long rods have a higher revvin range, because of the shorter stroke. I've heard they're spose to produce more power but I've never seen any evidence of that.

Edit - cars like BMW an Benz have longer rods they rev to around10 000. F1 cars also use longer rods, helpin them rev at around 20 000 thas why they make that high pitch sound =)
