Forged Rods - Suggestions?

They can take more pressure before cracking/failure.
Nox Vidmate VLC
Having more air and fuel combusting (required to make more power out of the same volume) means that there's higher forces acting upon the engine internals, so you'll need stronger materials to be able to withstand those forces.

Did you ever get an answer?
Had a "small" engine issue....
I beleive I have read a few years ago here, chinese is "okay".
So just checking what the "forums" current consensus and advice on rods might be. Iif it was just the rods, we would spend the money on Manly...but we also need a crank and possibly a block and all the machining/balancing etc that goes with it, so budget and saving a few hundred here or there is an issue (as usual).
Full race engine. Rev limit 7500 - 8000 depending on torque curve. Borg Warner turbo running max of 22 psi around 350 whp.
Landed in NZ.
Manly - Supermiata approx $790.00
Eagle $650.00
Maxpeedingrods $450.00
appreciate any advice for or against whats listed or anything else to consider?

but they claimed they were good for 900hp.
I'd rather have a torque number, but that was so far above where I was going.
But the rods held up.
