These are the rods from my 89 951, are they cast?

Here's something that hasn't been answered and still puzzles me about my engine.

Well, bad news about this method of determining rods: I'll get under the car and check, but I'm quite sure my car does indeed have those ducts along with the cast rods.

thought this thread the most appropriate to bump...
anybody (Jim?) have data to the cast rods fitted to some 89 and 90+ 951s holding up under increased pressure/power?
the factory thought they'd be fine for 250 bhp, but how about 300 or more?
just curious.
