Size and weight tolerances are less stringent. That's the main difference, made out of same stuff as Manley's. MMR has their own rods as well that might be worth looking into - they have lots of miles on that brand with no problems.
Just food for thought: I sold a set of manley's out of a cobra used with 1kk miles on them with wrist pics for $345 - so people must be paying extra for something.
Block boring .20 over is 250-350 usually. Just make sure it's torque plate honed in order to be straight.Thanks for the info guys. I have been looking for some stock 03/04 Cobra rods for sale. I've seen a few around online for about $300-$350 which is pretty good. But it sounds like the ACE rods are decent for what I'm going to be doing. And also, I have a friend selling some Manley pistons for a good deal. They are 0.20 over, so I would have to get my block bored out. Would I have to get my car retuned for the bigger piston size? And does anyone know what a general price for getting a block bored is?
Agreed, i paid $125 for balancing.Manley Rods and Diamond pistons here. Been running it with 10psi and over 400hp for 2-years now without a single hickup. You can pick them up now packaged with a balanced stock crank, bearings, ARP bolts and all for about $1,200.
No matter what rods and pistons you run, you're going to have to get the stock crank rebalanced for their beefier mass, so factor that into your budget as well.
