Need some inputs got a built h22 and it has eagle rods and was wondering how much hp there good for before the rods bolts break or bends rod... buit this block without intentions to go as extreme as I'm into it now so I know I'm limited by my rods so what's safe for these rods till I buy some manleys next season

 

What makes you think you are limited with Eagles? There are many people pushing 800+ with Eagle rods....

 

Yea I've heard of ppl making high hp but never talked to anyone that has actaully done it on a h22 but what I have heard is personal stories of ppl stretching the rod bolts and bending rods... I really want to know of someone having these rods in a h and putting down good numbers

 

which ones do you have? small bolt or big bolt?

 

Most rod failures are from people not checking the rod bolt stretch and/or not torquing the rod bolts properly. Plenty of people out there making alot of hp on Eagles.

 

I'm not sure on the bolt size I know tthere arp but didn't know if h series had the whole 5/16 or 3/8... I thought they were all 3/8 ill try to check

 

Do it one do it right the first time Manley is the way

 

good for 7-8

 

Eagles should be good for 900hp with the arp2000 bolts

 

I have eagles with ARP bolts in a H22. They work fine

 

yeah thats what they rate them for. Im sure they wouldn't just make up a number, they are just cheap because they sell a million of them.

 

Alright guys well thanks I'm gonna go for 700 to be safe for now and put manleys and higher compression in it next year when I refresh it
