Default Manley Light Weight Rods and Boost ??? whose running them and what #'s

i was looking at manley rods for my setup and came accross these lightend rods.

lighter than the Turbo Tuff Rods

set-up

b18c
Stock Sleeves
81.5mm CP pistons 9:8.1 cr
Manley rods light or turbo tuff
ls crank

b16 head
skunk 2 stage 2 cams
supertech valves spring retainers
port polish

gt3076r
44mm tial
600hp precision intercooler
780cc injectors
3in down pipe

hondata s300

goal of 400whp on pump around 16-18 psi
goal of 475-500whp on race gas at 20-22psi

Anyone running the light weight rods as opposed to the turbo tuff rods...since im not making crazy amounts of power i need to get through the gears faster and a lighter rod would help me do this.

ideas from anyone...

questions?

setups and dyno # and how long the motor has lasted would be greatly appreciated

The lightweights should be good for 500-600. However, your turbo configuration will control how fast you accelerate and the rods will not make any difference.
