Yep - all our road race motors use Manley Tour-Lite rods and spin past 7500 for most of their life.

Well if you go into "Billet" stuff its a whole new story. I was talking about the few different cheap I beam rods we have to choose from.

If i could get the rods your talking about for 350 it would be great. I have as much in my heads as you do in your rods.
