That tells us nothing because there are people running 250+ hp on the stock rods. If you are confident then you should be able to make more then that.

the 250whp was uncorrected so if you do the correction its 300whp. soo if you want to look at it this way there good for 300whp

The rods used in the 88-89 323GTX turbo are beefier. They have a thicker beam, thicker small end and larger size bolts. They weight approx 580 grams (w/bolts and nuts) vs the approx 540 grams of the Miata rod. The GTX rods are no longer available new from Mazda and the Miata pieces supercede it.
