Eagle Rod question

[boostmaniac]

I had a goal of 500hp so I bought Eagle rods, Now my new goal is the low 600awhp. So Manley rods is what I'm going to get if I have to, How much power are eagles supposed to hold up to?

eagle rods are rate at 600hp from eagle. Ive heard of people going past 700 at the wheels with them. I think you'll be alright

Personally I wouldn't be too worried especially since 99% of people with a goal like that never make it over 450. If you do make it to your goal with proper tuning they "should" hold up altough at that point I'd just pull them out and swap them for something stronger. For now, throw them in.

Thanks for your info guys ...

I will make my goal and there is no question about it ,I spent way too much time and money making sure this set up will work. If I have to I'll use a T67.

Keep your opinions coming...Thanks again

The eagles will be fine just make sure the rod is machined to give proper oil clearance to the piston pin.
