manley rods

Def a nice product. However not enough of a savings vs Carillos or Crowers to justify the loss vs the others. Guy @ SoCal had vouched for their quality.
Is it just me or do the Manley rods come in so close to the other offerings that there's no point in using them? You can get Carrillo's for 2600-2700, Manley's are 2400?
$2000 with ARP2000 bolts. $2300 with 625s

As Russ said in an earlier thread about these, they'd be a good option for someone doing a mild build.
If they had been available in 2010, they'd be in my engine right now. Id have used the savings toward head studs.

I agree. Once you get a taste of 750HP you're going to want more! Plain and simple. Don't understand why you would limit yourself. Kinda like all these guys trying to go cheap on a Trans build kuz "they don't need a Trans that can hold big power". Spend the extra small amount and don't hold yourself back. That's just my opinion though...with the envelope constantly being pushed, why stop so short? If you truly "don't need that much power" get LBZ rods and call it a day.
I'm not saying everyone must build with 1000HP in mind rather dont shoot yourself in the foot over a couple hundred bucks ya know. You're still dropping over 2k. You're not going to buy a brand new LML with leather, power everything, Bose, navigation and then request rubber floor instead of carpet to save 200 bucks on the overall cost.
That is cheaper then I had seen previously. I can see it for a budget build if you have self control

Oh ya, guys like us, at the track with pride and $ on the line.....ain't no self control. Go hard or go home.
That's why I have Carrillo's in mine. Someday maybe I'll grow that self control stuff
with 750hp stick with lbz rods and cross your fingers or get a big name brand and sleep easy. Don't go down the middle of the road, pick one lane or another.
Dug this up. What's the latest on Manley rods?
Does anyone have any miles on a set of manleys?
About 40k on a set with S475 MPI twin kit and dual fueler.
18,000 of DD' ing and play. I drive on a 750whp tune, and have 950 when I need it.
I'm putting a set in mine this week. Truck will make in the 8-850 range. I see no reason they can't be treated like crowers or carrillos.
I have stock rods in mine and daily drive a 700whp tune.
