Manley rod strength?
Manley rod strength? I was wondering if anybody has experience with these rods? I have a forged 370 with the Manley I beam rods and ARP2000 bolts. The Lingenfelter website only rates them to 750hp but I would think they would handle more than that. I want to push my truck into the 750-775rwhp range and I don't want anything coming apart. Thanks
Here is a link to rods I have.

Here are both links with the same part number but two totally diferent ratings. Are the rods I have actually billet?

Right under that is says: Estimate only, horsepower range is affected by rpm, stroke and piston weight please consult your engine builder.
They rated them at 8,500 RPM, the rating at 7,000 RPM would be much higher.
I would also check out the Callies I Beam billets, those are very nice for the money.

Whats up Kris. Chad has all of us questioning our rods now doesn't he. I bit the bullet and upgraded mine before the now motor goes back together. Mine will be a completely new motor now with the rod change. Callies only rated there H beams for 750-800 which I was probably already there. With the better heads and the Turbo over the Procharger thing should make some good numbers this year.

The guy I bought the engine off of didn't tell me that I had the billet rods so its awesome to find out that I have a $1,500 set of rods in my 370. I definitely got an awesome deal on this motor. My motor should be good for 1,000hp+ if the Mahle pistons can take it. I don't want more than 750-800hp anyway but its good to know that it will handle it.
