Im using the BC Sportsman rods, never had an issue. For reference my cars made 656whp, and has even went through a couple mishaps with a blown hg and melted piston, still yet to have a rod issue. Sorry I cant comment on the two you mention, just thought Id throw my experience in the mix.

I have manley rods and have gone up to 25-27 psi on a 6262 turbo and spinning the crank at 8k.. but to be any after market name brand rod should get you some serious power.

Like K1 used to be a super well respected affordable rod, Molnar is now it's successor. Same engineer. Same recipe. Higher quality. Believe me, better than K1 as of recent by light years.

Didn't realize Manely made two rods for the 2az. The Turbo Tuff I-Beam and they make a cheaper H-Beam rod for it.

Mine will be the Turbo Tuff I-Beams.

ibe heard good things about .. Bc sportsman rods .. manley and molnar .. people think that molnar rods is a bad set of rod cus is only $395 ... I know how it feels when u are going to buy anything u never want to buy the cheaper one .. is most cases money = quality ..
More $ better quality .. Whats better a car that worth 10k or one that work 50k

i see it cost too much compared to other rods and some companys have told me they weight too much and it is bad in the long run so im considering opinions on buying the brian crower bc625+ or other option

What rods weigh to much? Manley Turbo Tuff's? Never heard anyone say anything about their weight, they are pretty proven to be sound in quality. I think they are rated at something like 1000hp.
