Default 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 the rods I have.

I found the same rod on SDPC's website and they list them as billet rods and rate them to 1200hp. Now I'm confused on what I have in this thing?

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

I have a set of these in my 427. Manley said they were good to 1200hp. Im going with what they said, and I hope there were right, I paid a pretty penny for them.

That's awesome. I bought this engine used so I got a better deal than I thought. I guess Lingenfelter has them listed wrong then. Thanks
