Simply put, Manley rods are the best rods on the market today. All Manley rods are 100% made in america. These rods are held to the strictest manufacturing and quality control standards in the industry. Perhaps this is why Manley is the OEM supplier for Ford's 2003 supercharged Cobra. Manley's budget "H" beam rods are stronger than some other manufacturers premium rods. Manley rods will allow you to wind your engine higher without the fear of sending a piston through the side of your block!
Stock rods in Ford modular engines are manufactured from a powdered sinter-alloy that is compacted into the rough shape of a connecting rod, which is then "hot struck" into the final shape. These rods are adequate for the purpose of which they were intended (picking up groceries at the local store). We have heard of people making some impressive horsepower numbers with these rods, but these rods do have their limitations. If you are building a modular engine for performance, Manley rods are a must.

 
Manley's Pro series "I" beam rods are intended for the most heavy duty applications. These rods will handle nitrous, turbo's and superchargers at very high boost levels. Perfect for anything from streetcars to pro stock. If you need the best, look no further than these pro series rods from Manley.

Manley's Sportsmaster rods are perfect for high stress applications that don't need the additional strength (or cost) of the Pro series rods. These rods will stand up to the abuse of stop light runs while still being strong enough for the track. These rods are lighter than the "H" beam rods allowing your engine to spin up quicker. You can't go wrong with sportsmaster rods. Good to 550 horsepower.

The same care that goes into manley's top of the line pro series also goes into these "H" beam rods. Fully capable of handling supercharged or nitrous applications.
