Re: lsv on the quest for low low 9s
idk why people are so uneasy about eagles, i have never heard of one failing from too much hp. i have also seen plenty of builds in the 700-900 hp range with eagles. are there better rods out there? yes 100% carillo... manley turbo tuffs.

Re: lsv on the quest for low low 9s
I've lost a engine using eagle but it weren't the rods that failed @640whp, it was the ARP2000 bolts. But can't blame the bolts entirely, I torqued the bolts 4 times 1st torque to check clearances, 2nd torque final torque, ended up chewing up bearings due to FO in oil, 3rd torque to check new bearings, 4th torque final torque, Tuned to 640whp, when to a race weekend ran a decent time on street tires, drove home raced on the Autobahn whooped some asses at some high speeds, final race engine lost power and stalled, pulled over checked the engine, no leaks no damage, tried to restart the car, threw a rod through the block. bolt snapped cleaned across the cap. I upgraded to Manley turbo tuff, then later Pauter to 662whp on same turbo, I just tore apart my engine to cut o-rings and rebuild for over 900hp, so because of past experience of reusing bolts I upgraded to ARP625 bolts, to be safe I will use the old bolt for checking bearing clearances, and use the new ones for the final torque.

i have the bwr 5th gear cuff in my trans, absolutely no problems installing or driving. its just some billet aluminum with 2 bearings, same as the rest in my opinion

Re: lsv on the quest for low low 9s
I run Eagle's with upgraded L19 bolts (around before the CA625+ came out), car is at ~650whp revving to 9200rpm.
I also have a set of Pauters with one refurbed rod but the engine is happy so I'm hesitant to strip and replace the Eagles.
