I've never heard of anyone having an problems with Manley rods. They make great products. I also purchased Manley rods for my 2.3 stroker. I plan on running a FP 3065 or possibly a GT35R also.

This is wrong. All of their rods are weight matched.

 

If your looking for 1000hp or 10k rpm just go with the Carrillo H-beam, you'll never break it and they have the strongest robbolts in the market.

I saw a carillo rod push a wrist pin through a JE piston when the motor hydrolocked, nothing happened to the rod it was still within carillo's specs.

 

They will only be for a 2.3 running a gt35r so I wont be reving it over 7500rpm, so they should hold up fine.

 

manley's are turbo tuff.

 

I agree Carrillos are very strong but are a little heaver.

 

The carrillo H beam rod only weighs 567 grams

 

carillo h-beams are compariable in weight, while the a-beams are some of the lightest out there.

if your looking to make a 1000 hp, dont skimp.

 

the A beam carrillo is not very strong.

 

Still stronger than an Eagle but definately weaker than a Crower or Pauter rod

 

Abit off topic there guys I am asking about Manley I beams.
Should they cope on a 2.3 with a ams gt35r.

 

How do oliver rods fair in the strength category?

 

If you want to keep it in the 600whp range and under 7500 rpm you can use eagle rods without a problem.

Oliver makes a very good rod, but for the 4g series motor i would onLy use Carillo or Pauter

 

OT: My vote goes towards 35R....when we putting in the stroker?
