I've seen a few Eagles make more than that and spin higher than that on numerous cars w/o a problem.

Of course if you have the dough, get the H beam Carillos, otherwise, Crowers or Olivers should be more than enough for you. I'm sure the Manleys are fine also.

 

I have the manleys in my motor and my car right now makes 560whp and they hold up very well, Im going to test how far I can go with them... Im going to be putting my 42r on the car in the next couples of weeks so Ill let you know how they hold up to 40 lbs of boost on the 42r

 

r they the I beams or h beams?

 

Manley products are top rated...
Yes they are somewhat of a sponsor
but remember
they have been in this game forever
look at alot of prostock and top fuel cars
its in alot of them
but to say they are weaker than brand x or y isnt a valid claim
unless you have solid proof and evidence to back it up
I ve run their parts and numberous vehicles of mine and customers
and never had issues...provided they have been correctly installed and tuned

 

actually most (99%) of pros tock and top fuel cars run aluminum rods so you can't use that as an example.

But i can see that it might be an unfair statement but there is no way in hell that a manley rod is as strong as a pauter or carillo, more on par with a crower.

 

Stock rods have mustered over 600whp. Have you ever seen a stock rod????
All the aftermarket rods are bulletproof comparred to a stocky. Buy whatever name makes you happy. They are all good for 1000hp.

 

manley makes aluminum rods...
no flames intended
im not knocking either or any brands but to make a claim you should have evidence
nuff said

 

are you serious? if all rods were good to 1000hp there wouldn't be a need to spen 1k+ on carillo or pauter rods when a 400 eagle will do.

aluminum rods are kinda cheating (I wish they could be run on the street reliably) since they are only good for a few passes due to the distortion on the rod but for those 15 seconds they are amazing.

In terms of 4340 or titanium there are very few companies i would trust.

 

The Manley I-Beam rods are right up there with Crower, they're very tough stuff and I would rest easily knowing I had them in my motor. In short, yes they will be more than capable of handling the stress a 35R can throw at them.

 

Thats exactly what I am saying. The 275 scat rod can make 1000hp. All the aftermarket rods are bullet proof in comparison to a stock evo rod. This thread is stupid because there is no evidence of any sort that proves any aftermarket rod is stronger than the next. There is no such thing as a back to back test that could prove which is stronger. If you can tell what is stronger you are God.

 

I can agree partially with what you're saying... the part where you said every aftermarket rod is stronger than stock.

Engineering analysis can determine which design is stronger though, and that's how these companies come up with their horsepower ratings. Is it 100% precise? No... but it puts you in the ballpark.

 

I can't recall seeing any rod breakage aside from stock rods and an Eagle rod, and I'm not certain that any of these cases were the fault of the rods.

You all can debate this ad nauseum but since none of the aforementioned brands seem to be suffering from breakage, it's more or less a moot point.

 

While we are somewhat on the topic, and it was mentioned up there somewhere:

Has anyone run Crower or other Titanium rods in a DSM or EVO? Any idea on advantages/disadvantages over steel (except price, of course)?

Thanks!

 

Weight, of course. Which affects the accelleration of all rotating components. Titanium is also very strong and tough, if the correct alloy is used.

 

Thanks for the info! I was aware of the rotating mass benefit. That is what I'm after. Just wonderig if there is a longevity trade off like there is with aluminum rods, or if due to titaniums inherent "springiness", if they may actually have a longer fatigue life than steel?
