Carrillo vs Manley

Manley 300m Rods, or Carrillo Pro H rods. Both the same price, but which one is better? Really having a hard time deciding......

I would go with Manley just because it's a cool sounding name, sounds like your rods might come with chest hair or help you hold an erection longer.

You could call up Carrillo. Give them a sporting chance. Say, "Can you explain to me why your rods are superior to Manley's? Why should I go with your product?". See if they have some amazing answer that impresses you.

Are you certain both are the same price? If so, it's a no brainer.

Manley's H-beam rods are forged in China, and typically sells for around $350 or so per set.

Carrillo's H-beam rod for the EVO is U.S. made and typically sells for around $1000 per set.


If you can choose either for the same price, which would you prefer? The answer should be easy. To be honest with you, I wouldn't even consider a Chinese-made rod, at any price, but that's just me.

Manley's I-beams are USA made, unlike the H-beams. I do not know the mass of these rods, but anything greater than around 600g is heavier than what I'd like.

The manley 300M alloy rods I don't really know but I think Buschur and aMS starts using them for some builds. Over 600 grams I think per rod.

The most commonly used I-beam turb tuff which are monsters of rods are selling around 600 dollars but they are over 100 gr heavier than the carrillos.

The carrillos which I chose for my motor are around 570 gr in weight and I opted to get the carr rods bolts. Quite expensive of coursE but always you get what you pay for!

I'm a little uneasy about using alum rods for street use (although i realize allot of people do). I'm leaning towards Carrillo's, the Manley Pro Series 300m's are "I" beams and made in USA so i know there a good rod as well.

I was reading a few other threads on rods, but they're a bit dated so i thought i would ask a more specific question. Anyway thanks for the help

What WHP is your goal with this engine? I ask because Manley 300M can be an overkill, and probably you can go with the lighter Carrillo Pro-H
