I'm not sure why people get so weird about this subject. Even if the Manley rods did weigh as much as the factory rods, they're still stronger overall, let alone on an ounce to ounce basis.
First off Tracy cutright is correct that is not the correct way to determine bob weight. Second you are weighing Manley’s lightest rod which is definitely not there strongest. Most Coyote h beams will weigh around 650-670 grams. I’m not sure that those are the same size rod
These aren't from a Coyote motor. These are for a 4.6 2V/3V/4V That seems to be a pretty standard weight from what I can tell. If you have some evidence to the contrary, I'd like to see that. They are also most certainly stronger than the factory rods, which any expert builder will tell you is good for 450lb/ft of torque in a 4.6 3V. That seems to be a pretty good rule of thumb for maximum output while maintaining any reliability. Anything beyond that is largely considered the danger zone. People commonly use aftermarket H-beams for very powerful builds. Just look at the 3V build that Four Eyes is doing. There's a reason people go with aftermarket rods and I don't understand why people make such an attempt to die on the hill of factory parts.
It's the 16 to 18% silicone that they inject into the hyper erected Pistons from factory That make them heavier than the forged Manley Pistons.
Are you talking about the sintering process?

I get your point but that's not how you weigh rods when you figure the bob weight for balancing

Coyotes use the same rods as a 4.6
