Are these streetable at all?? Or mainly just race?
I have heard they are made to withstand 30-40 1/4 runs, then be replaced??
Having a shortblock built. Plan on boosting it, eventually.
Lunati Pro Mods are the other choice, and slightly cheaper.

both brands mentioned are good I would think a Manley steel rod would last for a very long time alum would be a different story I bought a set of Dyers Top Rods for my 408 they are very close to Carillios
The Manley Pro Series for the ls1 is not a billet rod . I contacted them inquiring about these rods asking if they were billet or a machined forging . The machined forging can have advantages in the cap by means of improved granular structure in the cap . Either way a good rod , lightweight , and according to Manley they had been used in some Ford Mod motors up 1400 before bending . I would like to see the Manley and the Lunati compared side by side in some grueling destructive tests to compare the two since they are somewhat similar .
