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.

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.
