Default K1 Rods -- what HP are they rated at?

They offer 2 different H-beam rods, standard and lightweight. What are each rated at? I would like pretty specific information...not guestimates please.

www.k1technologies.com Tom doesn't rate rods at a horsepower number because it's piston speed and tension that breaks a rod. In other words, a 1500 horsepower turbo car is a lot nicer to rods than a huge stroke Hi rpm N.A. 920 horse screamer. The parts are beautiful and come with trick proprietary rod bolts with asymetric threads (like a Carrillo) that loads each thread equally. I'd put them anywhere I'd put ANY brand of steel rod regardless of price.
