The Manley TT I beams are obscenely heavy, though. They are great for extreme power/boost levels but I'd rather go with a lighter, Professional level H-beam rod (RR/Carrillo). A lighter rotating assembly means easier revs, higher rpm's, and most importantly- less wear and abuse on your bearings and crankshaft.

Can't go wrong with the TT rods. I used them in my high HP build, and they were fine.

I agree with you here. The TT has proven itself many times to be real solid and strong, so a failure is not really a common thing. A billet oliver rod, or carrillo pro h beam with the 3/8" bolts are also very strong. No worries about the turbo tuff rod. It's not going to break until y ou are over 900 whp probably

You almost make it sound liek the TT's are so heavy your bearings are going to fail in short order.

They are heavier then their aluminum counter-parts but they've been proven in terms of abuse they can take and longevity.

And on the TT rod that failed MAP, what was the story behind. it doesn't matter if something is made out of Titainium, Adamantium or UnObtainium......if exposed to high enough pressure anything can fail.

Better than it snapping on you and putting a hole in your block.

IT's unfortunate what happened, but the fact it bent shows it was well made as even a billet rod will bend. It's when it shoots out the block To "window" that its a real problem

I think that would be called a "good" failure, no?

Indeed a good failure, only drawback is its taken forever to get the single replacement rod.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with either guys, as outlined above every rod *can* fail depending on the amount of abuse it is put through lol.
