I don't think you're being argumentative

However, H-Tuff rods aren't actually Manley "Turbo Tuff" rods.......

H-tuff are a 'bit' stronger than normal Manley H-beams due to wider parallel side flanges - but if they yield & neck at their midpoint then fail the end result will be the same - they're still a H-beam that won't fold over at failure.

H-beam 535g /H-Tuff 560g - same design (essentially bar flange widths)


Manley Turbo Tuffs are an I-beam rod @ 613grams a piece!


I-beams generally fold or buckle when they fail


No H-beam rod I've even seen die has folded over when it's failed - all I've seen have stretched, buckled or snapped at their midpoint.

Anywhoo - RJ isn't aiming to make enough power to begin to worry the standard Manley H-Beams, let alone justify using real Turbo Tuffs.

If he was sleeving & closing the deck - I'd be saying something different.
